On Baghdad ER

Please help my wife decide who to send this poem to where it will do the most good.

I saw Baghdad-ER today
And there is something I must say
To those who have the power in our land

So someone tell me loud and clear
Just why it is that we’re still there
Because I simply can’t quite understand

I think there should be some decree
To force you all to watch and see
The red bags that are filled with body parts

And watch while doctors try to mend
A sight too hard to comprehend
The broken bones and shattered, broken hearts

Do not insult me with your lies
No WMD’s was no surprise
And terrorism now is worse than ever

We’ll fight them there instead of here
Just isn’t working , it’s quite clear
Although you must have thought that phrase was clever

Please tell me how you justify
Your choice to send these kids to die
A general said the number doesn’t count

How can he give the lame excuse
Of terrorists being on the loose
As KIAs and injured numbers mount

I hope that if your future plan
Includes a war upon Iran
You watch this film and all its gory parts

But then again, of this I’m sure
You’d go to yet another war
Because you don’t appear to have a heart!


Thanks, DU'ers

won't do any good sending it to those warmongering chickenhawks in DC.

They`re tied up right now keeping count of Da Vinci Code movie goers. How about as a Letter to the Editor in your local paper? Maybe a national paper?

Thanks for the poem. Lots to ponder.

sending it to the Dixie Chicks.:patriot: Reads like it would make a hard hitting song. Maybe more will hear it. Just thinkin'. Thanks.
