Only Blowing In The Wind

they always talk
               about Reagan
                              being the great communicator
yet what does he communicate?
                            the same old Republican
                                                     rhetoric
that has been preached for the last
                                30 years....
    large corporations that don't give
                                        a damn about the average person
support cheap labor that puts average
                                    people out of a job.
And Bush is no different.
                           Promises made
       yet when it  comes to keeping
                                    the promises
                                               somehow they always
conveniently forget
                   caring about the people
                                           that put them in. Them care?
Yea right!
           Sounds like a preacher
                                  who talks about sin
yet takes a lover
                behind closed doors
                                     leaving one wondering if they
ever had any ethics.
                     Only if one is smart
knows that they're blowing in the wind.

    Well I know nothing of American politics... Can bearly get my head around UK politics sometimes lol! I loved the staggered layout of this piece, like thoughts that are seperated yet linked in a strange way... But thats just my thoughts - and I am silly

    Blowing in the wind, tossed and driven to the seas and drowning in the pit of hell fires...What a joke, Bush and Reagan. We have never suffered economically from war. Jobs were created in every war in the history of this country except this one. That's because we're spending 91 billion dollars to educate Iraqi child and two cents to educate our own. What a farce! I hope we show him in the end! Another great political poem! Keep 'em coming!

    Hey, this is cool. I like it. I like the last two lines and how you managed to tie them in with the meaning of the poem. Hehe, another Bush hater, eh? That's always good to know. XD Anyways, I like it. It says a lot, and some of us hypocrites need to read this piece. Nice job.
