battle drill

if i were battling that republican rapper (see below), here'd be my flow. (i wrote this after bush "won" reelection in 2004. eat your heart out, chuck d--it's mr. c!)

TOP GUN
elementary education, basic facts:
rubber stamp government contracts,
administration partisan hacks
attack dissidents here at home on iraq
our boys are coming back packed in boxes
graveyard crosses, acceptable losses,
shell-shocked, can't talk to anyone, and
don't feel safe without a gun.
all these memories: eating rotten MRE's, IED's,
infantry, cavalry, civilian casualties,
indiscriminate killing in the cities,
disease-filled water, no electricity...
it's a pity. who's the example?
bullet through the temple, brain burst like a pimple.
it's so simple to sit in the middle,
twiddle your thumbs and act real dumb
while we got fundamental differences to settle,
bush back in the saddle,
pot call the kettle black--
he use attacks on the twin towers to act like a cowboy
when he's just a coward.
a super-power in decline:
from the cave to the moon and back in no time
with this illegitimate leader, second-grade reader,
mr. top gun-cod-piece-theater, wouldn't listen to senior or CIA.
he said, the sunni? the shia? what difference does it make?
it's war for heaven's sake--there's bound to be mistakes.
hearts and minds splattered on the pavement and
on TV, they're sold as entertainment...
but that's the media arrangement:
repeat government lies for the right payment,
and read prepared statements like,
"we will be greeted with flowers at our feet,"
"parades in the street," maybe take "six weeks."
WMD a positivity, diplomacy has failed, only ONE possibility:
"invade their countries, kill their leaders, convert them to christianity."*
it's insanity--the drumbeat of war--voices of peace all but ignored by this
illegitimate leader, second-grade reader,
mr. top gun-cod-piece-theater, wouldn't listen to senior...
