Insignificant

He spoke before his people a little while back He tried to justify our presence in Iraq Against terror there would be a war Weapons of mass destruction would be no more They told him of our losses as they tallied the dead The losses are Insignificant is what he said Several nations searched the land But found neither weapons nor contraband To fund this war being fought on foriegn soil He allowed OPEC to gouge the price of oil No controls to be put on their insatiable greed Leaving the nation in dire need Politicians have no loyalties if that's what you call it Their major concern is the size of their wallet They use the budget and the price of gas To wage a war on the middle class So as you campaign on your stack of lies With rhetoric, excuses and alibis When the vote is in and the pot is stirred The common people will be heard. This was written for the political bull we hear from both sides of the fence. Empty promises, excuses and justification for major screw ups. The media and the government appear to be owned by OPEC. We need leadership, not excuses. We need education, not entitlements.
