BUSHED OUT: Some questions about America's 43rd president

	If George Bush understood poetry
	would he have invaded Iraq?

	If he cared more about lives thun money
	would he have been less eager to attack?

	Warrrzzz great if you dun't mind
	killing fer profit
	err learning ta hate on demand.

	It can seem ok if yawh unly kare aboot
	short-term sekurity
	'n yer own devious plans.

	To those who see it up close, however,
	war izz a mutant form ah horrrrar
	& mega-savagery.

	Itz ah legacy of Cain and Abel
	dat shows
	kumpassion iz what we need.


Sam:    Writing stuff like this iz a waste of energy. It does nothing to reduce the 
        economic injustices causing conflicts.

Tim:    Probably so, but perhaps not. (shrugging his shoulders) Who are we to know?

Terri:  Perhaps we need to think of writing as a beginning, not an end. If this poem 
        inspires a few people, great. If not, soon enough it will disappear.
