The Golden Rule According To Gee Dubya

Do unto others before they can do unto you
Call it preemption and lie through your teeth when you do.
Make up connections to terror, folks don’t have a clue.
Be sure you’re firmly entrenched when they find out what’s true.

Scare the bejeezus right out of them, it’ll be fun
Don’t let them find secret prisons, hide that smoking gun
Unpatriotic to speak up for truth and peace, son.
World domination’s the game here, forget the long run.

Propagate myths through our compromised media herd
Broadcast them loudly repeating each threatening word
It’s well established – beliefs form on frequency heard
After while “mushroom cloud” won’t sound so grossly absurd.

Strategy’s worked for four years now, don’t want to get iced
Hard work required to keep justice from spoiling our heist
Must keep the populace panicked and properly biased
Maybe pronounce that Chavez is the new anti-Christ?

So absolutely true. We are losing our freedom daily. I haven't been able to come up with any "patriotic" or political poems that I'm satisfied with because I'm so involved with the Tea Party, etc., that I can't get the proper distance to write. Good job.

Hey Nancy..' I don't remember reading this one i am still trying to laugh; but tears are getting in the way..' you have really portrayed well attitudes and ineptitudes; bias & greed, veiled as care and a whole load of stuff, I am sure were all rife in early and pre-history, ( is it not a comfort to see how we have changed things? )

It's funny, it's absolutely true, and it's a good poetic construction too.....wow, I liked that white-knuckle rhyme of "heist" and "biased"....... and the phrase "media herd" says it all for me....very well done indeed Nancy.....my best wishes...Syd
