Diving Right In To The Left

Yes, this is my 2nd blog, and I'm already diving headfirst with my poetry. It's raw, non-edited, full of emotion with probably little factual basis. But hey, that's how we liberals are, right media? That was sarcasm there if ya missed it. Anyway, here's a little (or long) ditty I wrote up before work one early morn. Not all poetry will be like this; some will be lovely, othes will be nature-y in nature, and love fills a lot of themes...just not the political ones, usually. Enjoy. I can't wait for the comments:

"How to get foreign resources from mideastern countries"


Here's a strategy: let's use the military!

Take a popular figure,
perhaps a former governor will due
as long as he's got friends in high places where scandals and mishaps leave without any signs or traces of misconduct,
nor any cases being brought to trials for justice to be portrayed

Put him in power with the help of masterminds
and his father that tower over the rest of normal people's lives.
Give him money, allow him to bend the rules like they all do
and watch him spin,
the propaganda flying out of not his mouth
but from those that keep a closer watch out
for any chance to do the rivals in:

You know, those 'lefty liberals' that love to spend and do nothing more than shout?

Radical righty says: Real stories, keep 'em in lock down from the public and strike the record straight from the headlines,
using newspapers and airtime for the stage set to play another puppet game.

Regime change was the first order;
now go in there and take out anyone who defies our culture.
Take their oil, watch the people toil even though their dictator's
been taken out of power.

There's a new breed of terror all around, caused by our occupation claiming to stand strong and be proud against a nameless face and violent waves.

Says the media:

They're not human beings, they're insurgents, call them militants who hate america,
cuz america = christian;
at least that's what 59 million thought to vote and get the chimp elected
even if those on the ground say the opposite of what the big spenders claim.

Cease and desist
or be killed in the process.
There's no need to resist;
profits are on the way to the contractor's pockets!

You'll stay in poverty while the monkey says we've given you hope and liberty;
If only you could use this for the rest of your dark days.

Be (s)elected,
then go to war on the helpless and poor.
He's been there for 5 years;
good thing we can't give him any more
after all the fabric we've woven
has been torn open behind closed doors.

Wear your flag on your arm so we can see how red white and blue you are.
Then see how much you wear your heart on your sleeve when you see
all the bodies coming back,
without a clue as to how to stop the attacks
from making your view turn from clear to black.

I know, that was long. They won't all be like this, I promise. Anyway, on with life!
