The world is in even more turmoil than when I wrote this. Things are a mess in Libya and Afghanistan and Iran and Irag and any other parts of the world.
This ought to be interesting.

Letter to the President
My little Haiku for this poetry challenge. Feel free to add your own poem to go with the photo. Voice your opinion.
Letter to the President
Dear Mr. President
There's a fine line between help
And occupation
oh, after you two I don't think I have much to offer, but since you 'ducked' and brought underbirdz into this photo, I am forced against my will to attach this to the plight of the Frozen Sparrow:
your kind of war,
isn't it Mr. Bush?
nice thing about Frozen Sparrowz -
too frozen for flight
burdened by poverty
disenfranchised by society
bereft of hope
numbed by not mattering
and held in place
by the tyranny
of your brand-name bootheelz
they make an easy target
for your bombz,
don't they Mr. Bush?
listen to the people
they want you out of iraq
but you just keep squaking
quack quack quack quack
jimmy
nice, jimmy... you worked in the duckz. :D
LOL
I've noticed that Drax took his poem and gave it its own hub. I think that's a great idea. I hope you all post your poems onto their own hub.
So, most of you would rather be attacked again on our own land! Soldiers who are over there, or have been and returned, believe in what they are doing. So quit running them down. They are fighting for you, for your freedom and safety. Making rude comments about our President cuts down our faithful soldiers too.
Please write your comments into a poem.
soldiers do not believe in anything......................................................................................... they are mostly mercenaries................................................................................................ they're sent, they serve, they live, they die.............................................................................. they do not fight for me............................................................................................................. they do not fight for freedom...................................................................................................... they fight for greed.................................................................................................................... they fight for arms industries...................................................................................................... they fight for the first jewish reich............................................................................................ they fight for an idiot president..................................................................................................... a pretty pathetic president ...................................................................................................... even for an american...................................
divisiveness is all i see ?
looking for answers
purpose
faith is past
patience gone
perspective
no forgiveness, for falibility
choices, forgotten
unaccountability
blame...
lds-nana, very nice. :)
I miss your picture poetry challenges, Muse......jimmy
Blue skies remind me,
As the wind gently moans,
Of pain, terror, hate and death,
Of a cause not their own.
and you said you didn't write poetry, thoog. you should. :) I quite liked that.
In for Ms. Muse starting these back up. I second jimmy.
WHO AUTHORIZED THIS SHIT?
Call the FBI and Homeland Security, too!
Dig up Hoover and Joe McCarthy PDQ!
Revive HUAC and loyalty oaths for me and you!
Round up these surrender monkeys and let 'em sue!
Mr. Deeds, you astound and awe me, par usual. Bravo!!!
I should have said "shocked and awed", shouldn't I? hehe, I always think of these things too late. :p
there so many signs all i see are lines???????????????????????/!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wake up you fools, open your eyes!
Our "Big Brother" told us lies.
Every day TV alerts were high!
Why dont Politicians realize,
The veil is lifted off our eyes.
We know now what potus did.
He tried to be a good kid.
A fathers dream is to see
His Son carrying on his legacy
Secrets are kept, while we get fired
In this economy no one gets hired
No pension, no salary, we cant retire
The wall keeps getting higher
But too late, I'm too tired,
This broken soul has finally retired.
Requesting constructive criticism from seasoned writers.

“We don’t do body counts”
General Tommy Franks, US Central Command
tell that to the dead children
to their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandmas, grandpas,
to allah brahman budda god jehovah the sky father the goddess
to anyone who will listen
since dead gods don't care, do they?
