Too Close To The Mirror
To see our ugly reflection
Staring us in the scarred face
Under cold fluorescent lights
We turn away to point a finger
For the crimes against humanity
With the International Criminal Court
When we see what Putin does
To the Sovereign Ukrainians
But when Bush did the same
To the Iraqis, that didn’t look as bad
Because from that there perspective
It was done for God and country

“Former President George W. Bush has finally, if unintentionally, admitted his error in invading Iraq nearly 20 years ago. While attempting to scold Russian President Vladimir Putin for his ruthless invasion of Ukraine, Bush accidentally condemned his own actions.
At an event at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas on Wednesday, the former president called out “the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq.” He quickly corrected himself, saying, “I mean Ukraine,” but he proceeded to chuckle and mutter “Iraq, too” under his breath to laughter from the audience. It’s true that had his gaffe not reflected reality, it would have almost been comedic. But as a child of Iraqi migrants, the distasteful sniggering by the man who launched a war resulting in at least 800,000 estimated Iraqi deaths and the displacement of millions more is nothing short of despicable.”
We knew deep down inside like the oil wells
Halliburton was about to dig it was
For our own self interest of the “economy”
But, where else would we be without
Our AMSOC (AMerican SOCIalism)
The clever ruse of AMIMP (imperialism)
On the redistribution of wealth
Back and forth between the government
Of connected in cahoots corporations
Disguised as defending democracy by
Building weapons of mass destruction
All the way from aircraft carriers
To bombs, bulldozers and body bags
Keeping the Proletariat busy with “jobs”
So they can in turn buy more stuff
With their meager after tax leftovers
Meanwhile it is all laid out in
“The Prosecution of an American President”
By Vincent Bugliosi
Just need one Attorney’s General to file an indictment….
George essentially confessed in that Freudian slip, less than a year ago. Grab some handuffs. Quite sure there are no statute of limitations on war crimes.
Anyone…..yoohoo…..I’m waiting……
Ah fuck.
Then we would see what is in the mirror.
Which technically we wouldn’t even see
At least not for very long thanks to all
Of the distraction make-up we apply
In the face of scandal, immigration
Abortion, fake fear gun confiscation
Race relation and gender manipulations
Any attempts to fix farcical education
Oops, almost forgot…….
“If you become
The leader of the land,
For murder is the sport
Of the elected,
And you don’t need to lift
A finger of your hand
Because it’s murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
It’s as easy to learn as your ABC.
Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
It’s as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E,………”
The Police
Millions dead, on our watch, that you and I paid for, with our tax dollars, at the very least makes us unwitting accomplices. Maybe that is why our beer drinking buddy George won’t serve any time, because then we would have to also.
