The Business

Five dollars a copyrighted prayer
Six more will score you a book,
Diamond crucifix,
Accents silicon tits
Inviting a closer look…

Smoking Buddha decorates the home bar
Molded finger points out the way,
Come join the jihad,
In glory be clad
For suicide bombers good pay…

Beware Falwells gay teletubbie
Roberts needs a million to survive,
Robertson begs your bucs,
To kick Islamic butt,
As long as we buy it,
Continue to suppy it,
The longer the business will thrive.

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

Needing saying

If you dont say what you think makes you a sheep following the flock.

No-one has the guts to speak out because terror's condition is taking over.

But maybe the next election in the UK will say something.

Not all people haven't forgotten about an alleged house in Notting Hill for an ex Labour politician who bought it near collapse and nothing happened to it until an appointment that needed security rebuilding.

He apparently didn't know about a security appointment in months ahead, and it was completely innocent that he did nothing on the property for months before it would have needed to be completely rebuilt at the tax payer's expense.

Or that he lacked any money as he publicly staed about a small house and therefore couldn't have owned this property unless someone loaned the money for it to be then rebuild at the taxpayer's expense.

You can't of course investigate this because it is a matter of security.

Or someone being able to buy a flat in Westminster for £100,000 that no-one ever else ever was ever offered, with the first guy apparently refusing for the records to be disclosed when attempts were tried to be challenge it.

It is good to read newspapers.

The first came from the Economist before it disappeared.

The second was in the papers and then gone.

How much are politicians alleged to make out of terror.

thanks for the thoughts Dave...i was thinking more along the lines of commercialized religion and the justification of the many attrocities commited in God's name,but believe your right that theres a fine line betwwen so called evangelists and politicians anymore.

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