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!!!
