a sad song for the John McCain that never really was-

Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 07:56 PM by Bluerthanblue

I never really knew the kind of twisted man McCain has shown himself to be-

And so once again
My dear Johnny my dear friend
And so once again you are fightin' us all
And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say I have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But I can remember
All the good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace and the star
Oh, my friend
What time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist

And so once again
Oh, America my friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all
And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember
All the good things you were
And so we ask you please
Can we help you find the peace and the star
Oh my friend
We have all come
To fear the beating of your drum

Thanks, Joni Mitchell

I thought at one time, this could have been sung to McCain- but he's not that kind of man- and through all the anger and frustration his present actions bring up inside of me- the one that is strongest is pity- what a sad waste of a life he's become.

peace~
