Obama Waits

obama Waits
© Ben Burton 9-3-2014

Another severed head
Two U.S. writers dead
obama's junior varsity
Keeps scoring more atrocities
But they'll get theirs one Arab day
For now, obama lies and waits
After all, they're only isis
Misguided lads, but not a crisis
Perhaps a thousand tragedies
Will lead bo to a strategy
He's only had about a year
And still thinks we don't need to fear
These phony Laker wannabes
Who really aren't our enemies
They need more understanding
America is too demanding
We'll bring them all to court one day
Meanwhile, obama lies and waits
And hits the links and raises funds
A New Age fiddler as we burn
Appeasing those within his base
Who'll change the world with an embrace
With every vic'try isis grows
With every severed head they gloat
Until that eerie, silent night
No journalists are left to write
And isis members celebrate
While obama lies and waits
Bush started it, opened the gates
obama lies and lies and waits

Islamic State to Putin: "We Are on Our Way to Russia"................. The Islamic State has openly declared war on the U.S., driving its point home by having beheaded two U.S. journalists. This is the first time members of the group have personally taunted the Russian president...... Addressing Putin personally, the fighter added: "Your throne has already been shaken, it is under threat and will fall with our arrival [in Russia]. … We're already on our way with the of Allah!"
