Poem
They come from a different era where patriotism is a just cause they would fight for the true blue never mind who was right or wrong they stood staunch and egos proud their chest out, backs straight and chins up they come from an old style of thinking I fight today as my father and grandfather did too. fighting for an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth I will die to serve my country even if its a lie if you try to invade our land we will come and conquer you we are defenders of the truth but the old timers forget and the young ones have a narrow point of view there was a time when the immigrants were Irish, Italians and jews racism was rampant and that hasn't changed Christians today still preach 'Jesus is savior they say repent your evil ways pushing their rhetoric just like the roman empire did amazingly America seems to be doing the same history seems to repeat itself time and time again war, religion, oil and what we perceive as freedom we invade again and again and call it defending democracy yet the intelligence comes from spies and other governments because they have shared interests in different types of policy they all carefully choose their words because one slip of the lip could trigger war as it has happened before todays war on terrorism is a campaign designed to instill pain and un-trust to drain our resources from us And our leader claimed up front this is not a religious war yet he paraphrases from the bible we'll get those evil doers you see bush fooled our religious leaders too. he used their belief in Jesus he tricked 'em all just to get their vote he claims he's a born again Christian and this Christians embraced him holly but then one day bush spoke to Jesus and asked what to do with Iraq Jesus responded Invade that country Now dont get me wrong Jesus was not about war he taught of peace, love and compassion however his message has been twisted and turned over time and history shows the hands of Christian religious leaders are always bloody because they twist the truth to control dictatorship is always the goal Bush had been plaining war before a judge handed him the seat on his first day he signed a bill into law prevent any criminal charges against him
