POEMS OF THE EMPIRE
What's more dangerous than a war on?
It's a President who is a moron!

from AMERICAN EMPIRE
We are the Fourth Reich American,
Loudly we sound our clarion.
Unlike the Third Reich before us,
We intend to be more enduring and glorious.

from WHITE HOUSE
We consult George for matters of state,
To the show and the trappings he can relate.
Sometimes he thinks he's in big demand,
We have to remind him he's not in the chain of command.

from REICH LEADER
Our enigmatic leader great and glorious,
Was installed by a Supreme Court nefarious.
His plan from the start was a Reich,
But he wasn't very smart or bright.

from NATIONAL DEBT
Homeland Security upped the ante,
Earmarks from Congress cost plenty.
George's trifecta caused the lights to dim,
But the people no longer fear sin.

from BUILDING EIGHTEEN
Oil at cost a dollar a barrel apart,
That's where they set the peg.
But if you add it up in body parts,
It's worth an arm and a leg.

from POOR CHILDREN
You'll always have a baby picture to treasure,
Of a life that was given short measure.
We get lifetime medical free,
While you're on your own no mercy.

from ARMAGEDDON
Freight trains approaching head on,
All brought about by worldly delusion.
No way in this world can it be undone,
We're all being blown to Kingdom come.

from IRAQ SURGE
The SURGE to prolong the agony,
An indelible stain on our destiny.
Human sacrifices for the oil industry,
For reasons straining our credulity.

from ENVIRONMENT
The results of all this noblesse oblige,
There's global warming without foliage.
The water may never again run clean,
There will be no salmon in the stream.

from GREENHOUSE
While the final chapter is uphill,
Right now it favors Exxon Mobil.
The people don't get a lot of say,
The men of the Presidents' Club hold sway.

from ECONOMY
There's not much left for the poor,
It's minimum wage or the door.
If you get tired mopping the floor,
It's still better than our other chore.

from EDUCATION
How else could Georgie have made it through?
Majored in partying that was cool.
Most of his learning came outside of class,
Training to be a pharmacist.

from MEDIA WAR
If the congress comes off as insipid,
The media is certainly vapid.
The news is lacking in certainty,
Short on substance long on brevity.

from NATIONAL DEBT
The worst President we have ever had,
Leaving future generations penniless and sad.
The Iraqi war is a huge money pit,
Illuminati waifs on the government tit.

Even when a cacophony of warnings blared,
Congress waded in as the lights glared.
The sheer magnitude and depth of greed,
Gave caution that it could not succeed.

from AFTERMATH
The coffins keep coming down the ramp,
Planeloads arriving each day in camp.
On and on goes the ignominious slaughter,
Very disheartening if it's your son or daughter.

We call your type blunderbuss,
So much damage, so little fuss.
Weighting down generations to come,
How could we have ever let it be done.

from OLD COFFERS
Fill them with oil and blood mixed,
Fill them with Gold Midas touched.
Trim up your casket with gilt and fetish,
Beware the Almighty fulfills your wish.

To take it with you with love and caress,
Hopefully delivered to the Right address.
And when you ponder what has become,
Look around and you will be lonesome.

from ARMAGEDDON
It started with Carlos the Jackal,
It endures with the world in shackles.
A holocaust targeting us all,
Featuring an atomic debacle.

from IN MEMORIAM
Here's to the millions down under,
Sent by tyrants demented and sunder.
Emperors with horses swords raised,
Watching their men march to their graves.

from ECONOMY
But if you're shakin' your head,
And you had to sell your only bed.
Go stand on a corner with placard,
Maybe they'll think you're illegal and haggard.

from IRAQ TURMOIL
We signed up for the Reserve,
How many tours must we serve?
As it turns out quite uncanny,
Georgie, our leader, never served any!

Neither did Cheney, Saxby or Rummy,
Queasy knees and an upset tummy.
Goin' to war can do that to ya',
Just lay low and seek a diploma.

from IRAQ ATTACK
Relentlessly they fight on,
Chicken Hawk and Neocon.
Safely watching on TV,
Always defiant with esprit.
