Topic: ODE TO BUSH

Dear mister former president BUSH
don't walk away like that but please leave in a rush
and hide yourself in an African bush
you have send thousand's of people in an ambush

All those people so young and so dead
they even didn't have cheese on their bread.
Killed in combat coloring in a strange country's sand blood-red
remember this, why didn't you fight in stead sitting on daddy's head

Cuba's eternal enemy and yet a place right there
Guantanamo bay why IN CUBA and not elsewhere
did you do your job well? There is nothing to compare
please be seated and read more comic strips in your armchair

That man is so obsessed by nukes
that a lot, a majority of people pukes
the most powerful man on earth? What a flukes
all what you left in that great white house are spooks

Why, oh why went things so bad, even worse so mad
by leaving that house you will make a lot of people so glad
because maybe now a lot of marked soldiers will come back from Baghdad
I hope they return, but still.... leaving a lot of parents so sad.

Will you pay those weeping, deeply hurted families
who lost a son to what you call your enemies?
"ladies and gentleman we have him" while sending home dead young bodies
Saddam Hussein, will meet you soon to join him to see his execution movies

you might be immortal living with the dancing zombies
fall on your knees before God, Allah and begging please
don't send me to hell, if you want I'll wear nice panties
green, like Robin Hood, or compose a song you can win the grammies.

PLEASE DEAR CHORDIANS I JUST ASK TO KEEP IT CLEAN, AND IF POSSIBLE ANSWER WITH A KIND OF POEM TOO, it would be nice to see your opinions in "poem style"
THANKS

Re: ODE TO BUSH

If what you say about the man is true,
It would be hard to argue with you,
The hill he climbed was ever so steep,
Your thoughts about him are ever so deep.

might be a fun thread..  Badeye..  cool

Re: ODE TO BUSH

to reply to you in a poem style
is a good idea for a little while
sometimes i liked bush and sometimes not
most times not for the wars that he fought
or not so much him, but he made men fight
by the advice from advisers be it wrong or right

invaded Iraq because Sadam was mad
with him gone not all Iraqis are glad

if it was for humanitarian issues that bush was sorting out
then how about the countries with the drought
or how about Zimbabwie and their rigged up election
what about those people, where's their protection?
only a few things is missing from all
the flow of black gold and a big commie wall
for America and Uk will decide what they will
ignore their people's voices as they protest in a chill
I thought we had NATO to sort out these issues
in other countries with the blood stained tissues


I will leave this poem that has still yet to be done
but replying to you was so much fun

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

Re: ODE TO BUSH

When W comes Marching Home.

Let's leave the man to have his rest,
The worst he did was just his best,
It was his friends that egged him on,
He was their airhead, gormless pawn.

Did anyone else think as I did,
For the last year he was deliberately hid
Kept in the back by the same careless friends
Till McCain was beat and it all came to an end.

So the poor guy looks back now to study his legacy,
Broken down levees, war and despondency.
Think of his shame, as he walks off the set,
How much less missed can one President get ?

Re: ODE TO BUSH

He wasn't so perfect, which president is
But the blame for our problems isn't entirely his
So let us recall the War in Iraq
Both liberals and GOP's were voting for that
And you know, there was something quite curious to find
Barack Obama voted for the war, then changed his mind
And maybe, just maybe, some fine day we'll see
Ol' Dubya's desicisions proved right by history

Re: ODE TO BUSH

That history is written by the victors
Seems to be one of history's strictures,
It's Obama's turn, as once it was Bush's,
It's all just jostling, elbows and pushes.

Re: ODE TO BUSH

Very nice "poem" replies. It is great to read them. Pro or contra Bush, I also believe, or better convinced that the man was a "pawn" indeed, or a puppet on a string, following orders from people far more important than he was.
Why was he elected? (this is the general consensus here in most of the European countries) thanks to the "OIL barons", and the "weapon lobby"
I still don't understand that he was re-elected, probably because of his looks versus John Kerry.
If it wasn't for the television, Nixon would have been president in stead of Kennedy.
A poem will be written.

Re: ODE TO BUSH

How does this topic not contravene the guidelines for enjoying the forums posted by Upyerkilt some time ago?

http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9795

I get more than enough politics at work and from other websites, I'd prefer not to come across it here on my favourite music site as well. Apologies for any noses I may have bent out of shape.

Best regards to all.

Re: ODE TO BUSH

Dear Turret, I know all about guidelines and nothing about politics.
We try to keep it clean and believe me we  (mods) discussed a week before posting it.
So, if we hurt your feelings = apologies.
There are a lot of rules everywhere, and sometimes a rule can be broken.
See my last phrase.
It is just a poem made by me, knowing nothing about, or a little bit about US politics, that's all.

Re: ODE TO BUSH

Hello Doc,

I'm not sure how to take the 'tone' of your last post. Are you genuinely concerned about my feelings or are you being condescending? I would hope you're being genuine in which case thank you for your concern but my feelings were not hurt. I just felt that your original post was not in the spirit of these forums.

I have some other thoughts about your latest post but I won't add them here as I don't think it would be appropriate. However, if you have no objections, I would like to email you privately about my concerns.

Best regards,

Turret

Re: ODE TO BUSH

Hello again
Just see it as concern.
I am (for 90%) a honest man, the other 10% is for: you need sometimes to exaggerate, or not telling something.
Due to my work as a doc (I had to stop because of the sequels of a car crash = disabled and sitting at home since more then 4 years), I saw a lot of people, and every single day, I tried to help people. That "feeling" will never disappear, and I am indeed afraid to hurt other people because I did or said  something BUT NEVER WITH THE INTENTION TO HURT.
I couldn't help to write as an European and ventilate how most people think or have a similar opinion.
Thanks Turret (are you an US citizen?)
