Listen to poem:

Politicians Tell Lies

To die for a politicians principles or a nations so called pride.
For a pendant on a flag pole Or some sort of nobel prize .   
Our leaders want your life's blood to guarantee the oil.
They will tell you its a rogue nation or a despot on the prowl. 
When in fact they want to fill their boots, with another nations oil.

You will be abandoned in a foreign graveyard and your family will be  far away. 
No benefits or help for them as your no use to politicians once you have passed away.
The politicians sign treaty's and become the best of friends.
Your children lost a father and you your best friend.
Let the politicians fight the battles and die in pointless wars.

you should just cuddle your children and kiss them on both their cheeks 
and then proceed to tell the politicians to kiss my bare @@@@ cheek.
