SAD SATIRE ON STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

by Connie Cook Smith


Every time that we hear
our soldiers have died
We recall all the times
that the Bush Machine lied

U-ra-ni-um
and WMDs
The Bushmen were told
there really were none of these

Condoleeza and Powell
joined in on the howl
of lies about labs
and “mushroom-clouds!” most foul

Oh say, should these traitors
go to Iraqi jail?
They've ruined so many lives
they should go straight to hell!
