When bush comes to shove

Then remember the next election,
the war waged on ,
osama , osama ,
still couldn't be found.
the colors were now ,
all warning us loudly , that something would happen ,
from somewhere else.
although we weren't sure
of the how's or the whys.
The colors they shouted from yellow to red,
if we didn't follow their warnings, pretty soon we'd be dead.
yellow was the leastest, of warnings to follow
it meant something was up, but not all that dire.
next came the orange , but not like the citrus,
it was shouting more loudly,
but not like the red one.
the red was the worst one, meaning something big was to happen ,
like on 11th september, this time we'd be ready.
but time and again , when they raised the alerts,
like rats , we waited
for to happen , the worst.
we waited and waited ,
transfixed to tv screens,
but nothing else happened , at least not on our streets.
it was time for george to run again.
time to tell us all what a brave man he was.
and a new contender was picked ,
a senator from out east.
where they talked well and used big words,
unlike george , who liked talking to people,
as if they were ten,
reassuring us of no taxes he'd raise.
making up stories , again and again ,
about how he cared about us,
about how life was so precious,
no mentioning dead folks , over there in his oil war.
'cause the cause it was noble, he said it again and again,
we felt he meant it, at least some of us did ,
though more and more folks said ,
"he's gotta be kiddin".
And then , last fall , we went to the polls again ,
the new guy this kerry from out east ,well new to us ,
a senator he was ,
served in the war from the past that we knew of ,
the one that george got out of ,
he was well connected.
but he played like a patriot, got some of us all emotional,
called this guy kerry "unpatriotic",
for serving in war
'cause in bushworld, those that do aren't real patriots
and those that don't are the ones
who'll protect us from harm ,
at least that's what they say.
but tomorrow, tomorrow's another day , dear reader.
