Click hereI may write down our history
with my smirk and twisted guise,
I may make war without just cause
And still, to you, I'll lie.
Does my cockiness upset you?
"Bring 'em on" my voice will boom,
'Cause I'll talk like Dirty Harry
When I'm in your living room.
Just like father and like son
All mistruths I'll deny,
I'll look you in the face at night
And still, to you, I'll lie.
Do you hope to see me trampled?
See defeat in lowered eyes?
Bombs falling down like raindrops,
products of my lies.
Does my unjust war offend you?
I won't take it awful hard
'Cause my buddy Dick's got oil wells
in Saddam's backyard.
You may choke me with your pretzels,
You may roll your narrowed eyes
I may declare the end is near,
But still, to you, I'll lie.
Does my stupidity upset you?
Did you find it a surprise
When my brother Jeb stole Florida
in front of everybody's eyes?
Out of the past, toward future's dread
I lie.
Up from the crystal ball, 512 dead
I lie.
You're like sheeple with vacant eyes,
Bleeting and Bahing you eat up my lies.
Fighting against terror with fear,
I lie,
There are no WMD's here,
I lied.
Using 9/11 as my patented battle cry
Why can't we find out just how they died?
I've lied.
I lie.
And still, to you, I'll lie.

smithpeterabout 20 years agothis poem did not fall off a turnip truck.
it takes will and dedication to make any poem that is worth reading. The poet has a message shared by many.
In comments recent by another "comedian", raise your hands in support of our high security rights or you may lose them.
More security, more rights, right?
Good poem, Thank you, Sir Ink
Liarabout 20 years agoBut I can see where you're coming from, and as something bordering wetween brutally straight-on politics ? la Miichael Moore and regular, comedic satire, this works just fine.
Eumenidesabout 20 years agowhere you parodied Maya Angelou. If you're going to parody a poem, make it funny. Your writing talent should allow you not to use another's structure, rhyme scheme, and basic idea.
BooMerengueabout 20 years agoA sentiment I wholly agree with and written, oh! so nicely! Thank you Ceru!
