20 Year War

All these obsessed, overstressed men, made a mess of our US then,
say they’ll test them, but you don’t press them,
Our shared expressions are we detest them.
They spread their hatred, nothing is sacred,
Your leading our own troops to combat naked.
They take orders from their commander,
but the words he speaks are slander,
bits and pieces of conversations,
filled with intimidations,
meant to spread fear of policy,
to change our own democracy.
What once kept us safe from others,
is now torn down with "Big Brothers",
and anyone that questions government,
is looked upon with full contempt,
our new goal is "To stay free",
meaning you can’t disagree.
If they choose to rape our freedom,
you have to claim you need them.
They say stand up and fight,
but just not for what is right.
If they send you off to war,
only terrorists ask what for.
our policies have become deseased
as politicians did as they pleased
and leaders of our constitution,
paid violations with restitution,
overturning laws and jurys too,
and undermining the process due,
Here our boys, turn men in I-rack,
everyday they fear attack,
watching thier buddys decay, and the violence transends
as they lie on thier back, say goodbye to thier friends.
Our Presidents example says tortures ok,
there is no one watching you troops everyday,
we will embed journalists, but spare them a pen,
if there words are not ditto, they wont write again,
So you boys have the power to use as you must,
if you misbehave it will all turn to dust.
So go ahead and murder, its kill or be killed,
give peace to these peoples whose lives aren’t fulfilled,
Iraq is full of terror and your where you belong,
so what if your own government says they were wrong,
Coronals go public "troops play by the rules,"
"if we cannot control you, we all look like fools".
But suspicians do mount when the enemy attack,
had our boys circling in on a bunch in Iraq,
we had them surrounded and with no where to hide,
til our own leader betrayed us, and let up on one side
where they slipped through the opening and found there way free,
Our leader sure seems like the enemy to me.
He even goes farther and admits on the news,
more of his own judgement and partisan views,
that the Iraqies needed some new breathing space,
if you could have seen the looks on our troops face.
Lies crystalize to our men in this war,
"thats what the incompetance hype has been for",
if we think they are stupid, incompetant fools,
then we make up excuses as they break the rules,
the meltdown of security,
by the bush administration,
is nothing more than implanted
to help instigation.
of an unjustified war, and when we look back
the mistakes made will just not be there to track
all our safegaurds ignored again and again,
as an idiot leads us to a war we can’t win.
Or is that a play on the tricks of disguise,
to scream in our ears, and place in our eyes,
the enemys within, for his second term,
graduated harvard, average but firm,
Friendly with Saudis, for money they lent,
then bought them a president, and money well spent,
their troops are trained free,
all paid for by us,
when America needs help,
he wont send one bus,
he answers to no one,
ignoring all rules,
playing the role of an idiot,
playing us all for fools,
Divided we fall, United we stand,
wallstreet was the concrete that held up our land,
Yet New York still had dust in the air,
and reporting was halted, the space remained bare,
7 years later there is still a big hole,
more air time was given to Anna Nichole,
the true idiots are the Bushies today,
who back what he does, and help pave the way,
to forget 911, and let terrorists win,
the transparencies gone, there’s an enemy within
