When I read about god and the burning bush it gave me a good idea
we could do the same, I’m sure many would come along to cheer
we could do it on the white house lawn and invite along all the press
we could give a jazzy code name, operation Moses would be my guess
Some wont like this poem I concede it could cause shock and awe
I remember feeling just that way at the beginning of the war
I know saddam was evil bastard and I’m sure he deserved to die
but bombs don’t spare the innocent when they rain from the sky
War on terror is terrifying, so how terrible can terrorist be
if we count up all the body’s then the winner is pain to me.
if you fight fire with fire there’s a leason you should learn
if you kill for the sake of oil then you truly deserve to burn.

Fantastic, exactly what I was looking for.
I love the comparisons and th references to faith.
I don't know if you meant but the allusion of The Burning bush and George Bush in the first line is great.
I also loved how you took the readers views into consideration in the second stanza.
Just a couple of things the background and font colour is really annoying and 'I know Saddam was an evil bastard....
But other than that awesome
