from this week in January, 2007 (I was 62)
Politicians tiptoe around Iraq
say they were fooled by
intelligence talk
The agents of businessmen
told them what to do
Ignore UN investigators and
what they knew
Any Middle East Muslim is a
believable suspect
We can control the valves
on the pipeline
Aggressive capitalism we
tell the Iraqi
is what we call democracy
Any Hussein we kill will be
revenge upon a villain
and Muslims are looking to
love us
for ridding them of their
oppressor
And our military said it
was time
for a national fireworks
show
Less than a few urged any
they know
to volunteer for active
duty
Those sub-listed in the Guard
to protect native soil
for a monthly stipend and
minimal intrusion
now walk a foreign pipeline
pumping oil
and walk the bottom line of
national confusion
Anyone who saw the
international press
didn’t have to guess that
Bechtel and Halliburton
will profiteer from
catastrophic destruction
they can build upon
