Poem
Some years back we launched a war, (WMDs) our aim obliterated half a Country, dictator to blame Years went by no end in sight, the battle raging on the only one that gained a thing, capturing Sadam 4,000 plus, our bravest troops, came home as heroes gone can't leave them unprotected, the fight continued on Then not too many years ago, (seven comes to mind) a new direction not well received, pull them all out blind Let them all fend for themselves, and shrink our mighty force sit back and watch how evil grows, just shake your head of course New names added every year, terrorists growing strong don't worry they're just "J V teams", they won't last very long City after city fell, like cancer in the sands our finest Military Leaders, relieved of their Commands It's his way or the highway, no compromise to date Countries now in shattered ruins, the people see their fate We fought a battle , a just cause, not true the record shows careful not to pick a fight, don't step on any toes Remembering our alliances, tolerate, let them be helped to keep the rest in check, Middle East to Tripoli Terror spread like wind storms, throughout the middle east those "J V" Teams have now become, "the belly of the Beast" He picked the wrong side to destroy, and side with Arab Spring all hell broke loose in Libya, Obama felt the sting The Americans we lost that day, Ambassador and Team up and coming Election sights, can't spoil Obamas dream Secretary of State may help, ignore their pleas for aid bury reasons they were there, as militants parade Not the only tragedy, his Legacy will hold never were transparencies, we see the truth unfold Working on new History Books, keep them "tarnish free" lot of "Firsts come with his name", and most we'll never see.....
