Reflections of My Perceptions
Severe PUNishment (Burning Bush)
You may think it's only a pun when I question your intelligence
However, there is nothing funny
Because your sacred cow now looks more like a white elephant
You're pretty much a lame duck
So in reality, your words are truly starting to lack relevance
But because of your red herring
The general population will now wonder about future evidence
So what became of this golden goose?
It has cost you much luster, your words now have little resonance
It seems your goose is cooked
This chase has led us way beyond most reasonable Americans' acceptance
Some said ‘bold', I thought it bull-headed
To make a pre-emptive strike, in recent history there has been no precedent
So quick to release the dogs of war
Did you even consider the gravity of so many hearts' heaviness?
This was not the Bay of Pigs
So please tell me again about this threat to US, so imminent?
We were to be seen as conquering lions
But did you ever think about viewing things from 3rd person omnipotent?
I mean you said with a sheepish grin
God told you to do this, so are we to believe that's why things are so magnificent?
Even from a bird's eye view
Almost three years later, and there doesn't seem to be much of a real difference
Lambs are still being slaughtered
And this war still leaves me as insipid today as during its incipience
However, there is nothing funny
Because your sacred cow now looks more like a white elephant
You're pretty much a lame duck
So in reality, your words are truly starting to lack relevance
But because of your red herring
The general population will now wonder about future evidence
So what became of this golden goose?
It has cost you much luster, your words now have little resonance
It seems your goose is cooked
This chase has led us way beyond most reasonable Americans' acceptance
Some said ‘bold', I thought it bull-headed
To make a pre-emptive strike, in recent history there has been no precedent
So quick to release the dogs of war
Did you even consider the gravity of so many hearts' heaviness?
This was not the Bay of Pigs
So please tell me again about this threat to US, so imminent?
