Steve Voorhees Poet Free verse

Farewell George

Farewell George
No warm wishes here
Gone is your reign of feeding on fear
No more incompetent good 'ol boy antics
So long to your off-base far-right fanatics
Actually... unfortunately...they're still here
But gone is your non-sensical ethics to cheer
Time now to mend global relation
You made breaking those ties a vocation
Stomping through conquering with elation
Overpowering nation, all while on vacation

Farewell George
Enjoy the robbed riches
Like I said, with no well wishes
Choke on the oil soaked cash you made
Retire on what defense contracts paid
We'll pay for the pile of weapons "needed"
To see a race of peaceful people depleted
Using the villiany of one man we enabled 
trained, and armed him...then turned the tables
Using weapon of mass destruction deceit
knowing they're there because we have the receipt

Farewell George
No, don't even say Jeb
Two times are enough in the Bush family web
It actually goes further than you and your Dad
Should I mention the ties Gramps and the binLadens had?
Should I say he did well with investing Nazi money?
Your family is so evil...its no where near funny
Farewell George...If you were curious...I'm not your biggest fan.

Vince Suzadail Jr. January 17, 2009 at 7:55 PM We all came together after 9-11 and were supportive of the "president" and we all got betrayed. The bad part was that his VP was probably worse than he was. Both monsters ifected with greed and a lust for power. Hopefully history will do him justice and will show him for the A--hole he was. An old saying from when I was a kid. If brains were dynamite, he couldn't blow his nose. Vince

Sharon Winter January 17, 2009 at 11:48 AM I love this piece so much I printed it out and read it to my husband. Excellent. Guess you can tell we feel the same way. Love, Shar

Christopher Higgins January 16, 2009 at 7:31 PM First let me the the poem was well written not just words thrown together to form a wonderful rhyming verse. Great job with writing...I am not a fan of George and I am defenitely not a fan of the republicans, but that being said I am feeling a little sorry for the man..could he be so clueless or is he touched in the head? I am starting to think the latter and if that is the case then he needs our prayers. Amen on a wonderful write.
