Love It Or Leave It

From 'shock and awe' to 'cut and run'

the parlance of our times

is shut your mouth or ship it out

"We don't need you traitorous swine!"

Tropes that tie the noose-

from mediating whores

to bastard criticizers

who dare to question W's war

Vagaries of verse

In sound-bite serenade

The Crawford-Texas curse?

Veracity is vilified again!

Boiling under pressure

quixotic aspirations hem the wheel

and the blindness of the captain

steers Jesusland through icy waters still

full steam ahead!!!
