POEM - South of Canada Leadership

SOUTH OF CANADA LEADERSHIP

Our southern cousins are so broke
Mishandled mortgages were the start
It seems the government was on crack coke
Better to put your savings in a shopping cart

An economy in the dumpster
Let’s go to war, and why not two
Turned into a two headed monster
Old Dubya didn’t think this through

Jets into skyscrapers, not one but two
World trade center reduced to rubble
Two thousand plus reduced to goo
This could only mean impending trouble

Saudi Arabian folks who learned to fly
An intelligence memo mostly ignored
The Arabs would do and die
A president who looked so bored

The attack was done and finished
The heavily armed folks wanted revenge
Out Dubya’s came a turd gilded and polished
Attack a country with little to defend

Like the Grinch he cooked up a lie
The country had nothing to do with 9/11
But we must invade and Saddam must die
We must send him to Arab heaven

And into Afghanistan the US did go
Into the cities, mountains and deserts
They must destroy the evil foe
Mindless adventures they did exert

Two wars at once; it started to sting
Wal-Mart was richer than the white house
The Chinese cash registers never ceased to ring
While the US citizens lost their spouse

This is what happens when and empire dies
Fat citizens and minority gangs
True citizens wear uniforms amidst the lies
Heroes with out many fangs
Their politicians dither and dather
Small men with too much power
In a trench they would cower
Never standing up to their hour

The USA is full of heroes and good folks
The country needs to remember the good old days
Change the politicians with their votes
In order to get out of this endless maze
