PALOOKA

Dedicated to: President George W. Bush

A person or a group of people in power
Are obsessed to devour,
Tranquilized with cupidity
When caught, they pretend stupidity
 
Our Commander in Chief acting like a Don
When in fact he has become an eidolon,
Controlling every branch of Government
Personate he is with depravement
 
His idiocy of harum-scarum
Turned our policies into a Pendulum,
On the road we are to impecuniousness
Solely due to his perniciousness!

Author’s Comments
World leaders whose powers go unabated: corrupts; destructs; rips at the core of their country’s foundation and is an ever present impediment to their country’s re-establishment of credibility. We can stop “our” hemorrhaging by casting our vote out of conscience rather than loyalty! What better way to honor with sincere gratitude the men, women and children whose lives were lost in Bush’s wars of phantasmagoric rationales and internecine polices. We can then sing again from:

 

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

“Tis the Star-Spangled Banner: O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
 
And from: AMERICA
 
Our father’s God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King.”
