Bush 2003

Bush 2003 yet what has really changed ?  
   
I turn on my TV    
and what do I see    
half the truth.    
   
For the innocent youth    
are reaching their hands out to America    
as if God were above    
but I see many of us    
only giving shoulder shrugs.    
How you holding up?    
   
Find us teasing the need of the feed    
to the children of Iraq.    
Hunger seems to descend    
as hope rises    
but surprise    
it’s children exploding    
while America drops of food load.    
It’s too late to check the landmines huh?    
   
Don’t take the time to find    
a real remedy.    
Seems like each day we make a new enemy.    
   
Americans in flight in their sights.    
Tell me who else will die tonight?    
   
I’m not anti-American.    
I’m anti-stupidity.    
Dumb one with the gun    
instead of a helping hand.    
What really is Iraq to us    
territory or just some more land?    
America’s plan to help Iraq?    
No!    
America’s plan to help themselves to Iraq.    
Something about money and oil going down.    
What honor from this is to be found?    
   
You see the president entered a plot of destruction that was planned years ago    
but now he’s caught up in trying to be a hero    
when really he’s lost to greed.    
We voted for a man    
who’s proven he cannot lead.    
   
Not a natural born leader    
but a natural born cheater,    
political popularity tax eater    
with hidden scandals.    
   
Why do we have to light these candles    
for people should still be alive?    
Who really gotta hide    
Osama or Bush?    
Because to me they are both in a hole    
both out of control!    
   
Like Bush says before you go    
“You might have to check his bags at the airport  
 coz their might be a bomb    
or some ties to Osam....ughhhh bin laden”    
   
Mr. President I’m saddened to see    
you confide me    
to fight the war    
while you’re safe behind    
the republican & democratic doors    
of the White House.    
   
CRUMBLE, CRUMBLE    
oh statue of Saddam    
while I ask Lady Liberty why she still stands.    
I thought by now she be something believable    
like a clown    
with a bomb in one hand    
and the gun and the other    
left only to entertain.    
   
Another news story    
we caught Saddam Hussein.    
   
LIVE from Iraq.    
Flash news in Baghdad.    
Five more dead?!    
Many others injured.    
What about the countless traumatized?    
I thought we begin the war to save some lives.    
Now we’re making widows out of wives.    
Mounting the suicides.  
   
“Be all that you can be.”    
   
A soldier in this world trying to stay alive and it’s killing me inside.
