Behind the podium he gives his lines

Telling us they must pay for their crimes

Not giving us a chance to hear other sides

Behind lies and patriotism he hides

Power is the one thing he wants most

Even if it mean making monsters from ghosts

Why has he been so quickly taken by

This power that drives him again to lie

He calls them hears even as they fall

On top of their bodies, he speaks and stands tall

Using their sacrifice to bump up the polls

As Iraqis wait dying, with empty bowls

Why does no one speak against him?

Tell him it’s better to be just than to win

Why do we let him screw us on his mission?

Why can’t we silence the broken politician?
