Leaders?
We watched the lies regurgitate from our leaders mouths,
While their hands covered their hearts,
The twin towers gave birth to something more sinister and perverse,
Clouded by fiery and grief and while the revenge of the nation was at its manipulative peak,
This is where their strategy got deep,
Propaganda now blows up on our T.V screens,
What a devious, genius, distractions,
We somehow wanted to see Iraqi death’s plaguing Iraqi streets,
While staring into our T.V screens,
Media has us unfocused on the truth it now seem,
Revenge is now in our optics,
How could an operation of this size go unnoticed?
Until our leader’s came back,
Back into our public view,
Oil stained palms,
……….The realisation,
What did we go and do,
We backed lie’s and destroyed innocent Iraqi lives,
The truth died when the twin towers became ashes to the ground,
And souls blew around in the wrath Debary carried off by the wind,
You can still hear the souls screaming,
Loved one still grieve,
How foolishly we were all deceived,
Causing mass cultural deterioration across the sea’s,
An unforgivable racist segregation,
How their got us believing,
We back so many brutal killings,
Greed has been fed into the veins of these two willing nations,
We now know there is no measure on the lengths they are prepared to go to keep these two nations well above float,
But the bigger they are the hardeder they fall,
Theirs a price to pay when greed paves your way,
This oil has cast a dark cloud,
The integrity of these two nations knows no bounds,
We may as well of flown the plane’s ourselves,
The ripple effect is on its way,
We need to do more than pray.
