Ok, this is a political type poem/ lyrics. I was thinking about last week's tragedy and this came to mind. Not intended to offend anyone. Just an observation, and my opinion. Going through each day leaves me with a sickness This crap needs to end with some type of quickness Propaganda being spread just like the plague Don’t ask for answers the response will be vague They don’t try to hide it, they lie to your face Don’t even try to stand up, you’ll get put in your place Government’s always right, but the got it all wrong We been fighting with the feds for way too long The prez is snorting {edit} And the Senate’s a joke Too busy stealing money from the simple folk Fight Back React Cause each and every one of us is under attack Right now we’re a nation of tragedy Ever since the planes crashed in the NYC Everybody is patriotic since the World Trade got hit But a week before that no one gave a {edit} Never saw all these flags flown high Until the innocent had to die But should this have happened, I don’t think so Somehow the government had to know It had to show Four planes missing expect things to blow Up in their face A national disgrace How can an airplane go missing without a trace Four planes at once they should have been tipped off But someone messed up and I’m really pissed off We’re so smart ,we’re so intelligent We don’t even know where our money is spent It’s not on intelligence We’re paying for negligence Cause the events that occurred don’t make any sense The whole world was interested in Gary Condit Never even thought about the Pentagon till somebody bombed it Now everyone’s screaming for war We got to settle the score At least this time we have something worth fighting for I’m not saying don’t be mad I’m not saying don’t be sad Pray for the ones we lost and the lives they had Go ahead and drop bombs on Osama Bin Laden One for every lost soul so they won’t be forgotten But don’t block out what they don’t want you to see Protecting our country’s their responsibility And they failed which makes them an enemy to me "Your anger is a gift"-Rage Against The Machine "Only God can judge me" Tupac Shakur [This message has been edited by SEA (edited 09-22-2001).] |

Jon, this is really good, but the______'s have got to go. It's the same as **** in the place of bad words. I understand your anger and yeah, all the flags, everyone on the band wagon....I mean it's great, but it should have been there all along. I love my country and always have, it's about time folks got it figured out.....now I won't look like an extremist anymore LOL  "It's true/the way I feel |

I'm not jumping down your throat so don't take it that way. Alright? Are you implying, or saying, that your country is now your enemy? That's probably not a good thing to say about one's country at a time like this. When tragedies occur, people get patriotic. Look at WWII. I think everyone involved was more or less "patriotic" in their own abstract or twisted ways. There's always someone, in every culture, in every country, that gives a "____" even before innocent people are killed. I understand about the bombing both ways, pro and con, and I don't want to give my views. I'm not defending either side. Bel |

Jon, what can I say that would actually do this piece justice. Raw, uncut and straight from the heart. So basically it has scored massive brownie points with me. I like what it represented, what it said and most of all the true, bigger message behind it. I personally believe the same thing. The government let everyone down and so take it from there... It's going into the library for sure and I'll end up reading this everyday I like it that much. One of your better pieces. I hope to see more like this. Keep sharing. ~AF~ "Hi there, can I relay a sonnet your way?" |
