Poem
Being given the pen is supposedly mightier than the sword And knowledge is king How is it then that the hall's and positions of power and official office Are so often filled by warmongers and people who can barely string a legible sentence together Have similar defining characteristic in common Like or such as deep pockets powerful friend's prestigious family and an unfathomable impairing stage presence or in front of a camera or audience Maybe that's why actor's make great or the best politicians Because in reality it's mainly hitting a mark, smiling, acting, following direction and reading whatever script or line's are placed in front of you Merely a puppet not the master in control of the strings And when things go wrong as they so inevitably do and end up getting fired and hung out to dry And it doesn't matter because with my pay off and pension i leave richer than in my wildest dreams With so much money it would take 2 lifetimes to spend and every single cent well earned And you take that and cash it at any bank And if God forbid it does run out i can instantly double it overnight By simply releasing my memoirs in hardback Or disclosing the exact location where Saddam Hussein's actually hid Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction Surely they must be worth a pretty penny given we went to war spent trillions of dollars and countless soldiers lives in order to find them
