The Voters

We vote them in to speak for us Like lemmings we follow the presidential bus Once in power and take the oath To serve our country which serves us both Many roads they travel down Can trip some up, while others fall down AmBushed in Iraq, the lair of Blair Where many soldiers perished there Taliban in Afghanistan Guerrilla warfare not a flash in the pan Another conflict to more pain What in the end do we gain Continue to send troops to different shores To be gun downed and bombed as before To fight a war so far from us Should we really follow the presidential bus?
