THE IRAQ WAR IS NOT WORTH DYING FOR

The Iraq war is not worth dying for I have been there before During Desert Shield and Storm Our soldiers were sent to fight to Kuwait Lucky for us we ended it soon But when our soldiers came back home It was all about Desert Shield Syndrome Health men and women once Suffered pains in the joints and more And no one paid attention And ten years later Some one said in a whisper Maybe it is true that they have been Exposed to some chemicals ­ biological But I knew all along and fought to expose The Truth, but it was not easy No one suddenly died but the pain they suffered Was too immense And then came the Weapons of Mass Destruction And the Lies from the White House And again we did not pay attention What really happened in Vietnam? The war in Afghanistan and the Russians The White House chose for reasons Linked to Oil and Greed To send our women and men to fight A war in the Land of the Prophets Anyone could take down Saddam But it makes no sense to shed blood American and Innocent Iraqi It makes no sense to say one thing And do another George Bush lies and keeps lying We have not learned to respect Life and innocent lives To the many Parents and Friends Of our dead service women and men I say speak up and tell the truth No one should die because of a LIE More coming from the White House And all those mean politicians And Companies like Halliburton I have spoken to the parents To the sisters and brothers To the relatives of our beloved dead It is not easy to see the tears flow It is not easy to feel the heart pain But most importantly it is not easy To fathom the logic that makes no sense Our young women and men Come from normal homes Trained to love and live No one trains anyone to kill And this nonsense must stop Let us not hear the lies That the world is full of thieves and liars For a fact; we know some of them Are in places that Spin and Spread L I E S No soldier should die in vain No parent, sister, brother, relative Left to find the TRUTH The truth is; we all are one And in humanity we should find humility And in humility learn to respect L I F E Who will tell the TRUTH? When all most do is listen to LIES The media is full of it And most do not want to hear That killing begets killing And Karma will come to get you Katrina and Rita and more Are lessons that came home to roost? Have we learned less then before? Parent meets parent and share About death It is not right that our son died It is not right that our daughter died We thought it was for the Nation But really what happened Could have been avoided Here she was in a transportation mode And a home made bomb Blew to smatterings the truck and all My son was in a Humbee And it was made paper thin Left to the mercy of some coward To blow it to pieces It is blood that has been spilled Arms and legs missing Dead bodies of Americans Who should have been living? In America How many Congresspersons have? Had their sons and daughters sent To perform a noble deed for the Nation How many body bags you know Have been delivered to homes Of Congresspersons or Senators? This war in Iraq must stop And Americans must question Our validity to stay Let them come home now that some Have some sense of stability No Christian Nation would tolerate To be ruled by Muslim mandates Muslim Nations should learn the path Of tolerance as dictated in the Koran We cannot spread the Bible with oil We cannot be greedy and lie And pretend that will fly? Our service men and women Should come home yesterday Not one life more Francisco Da Costa

Death all around.
