Yo George

Yo George,
I hear you’r getting pissed.
Saddams got you dissed.
He’s not jumping through your hoops
as fast as he ought to.

He offered you a one on one.
No way you say,instead our daughters and sons,
fight your fight because you say they’ve got to.

We know you owe some favors,
contributing friends needing a saviour,
so you frighten the masses into accepting
your spoiled behavior.

Condemn those who seek peace,
as  cowards and the meek.
Is to bomb the bastards into submission
that much braver?

Before you play the worlds physician,
give the situation at home some recognition.
Is to first heal ourselfs
not an honorable position?

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

Could we email this to him? The man is a total ass.
Wonder if his daughter's will go off and fight?
Yeah right!

Yo, Ray I see you have returned from the coast, and your pen is sharpened.
Smiling here, as now you know you'll be on that list of names...yanno, the 'antidisestablishmentarianism' one that I'm always on?

Thanks for the reply Marti,unless it led to more votes or corporate profits I doubt he'd give it a second thought.
Hey Kacy...Yeah some folks aren't fond of the idea that the defense of freedom begins at home.Thanks for your thoughts there appreciated as always.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
