20 years ago American Army
Invaded Iraq to find WMD
For some reason, they couldn’t locate any
Finding non-existing bombs wasn’t that easy
Well, they have stayed anyway
They’ve been doing it to this day
Rather than sticking with the actual
They fell for “the counterfactual”
That way, I guess, they were able to protect
World peace and the home democracy, intact
Who cares if Iraqi death-toll already reached millions
We have bigger problems, like a handful of DC bullies
Everything else is under control
That of course is inclusive of petrol
I see that there is no such thing as an innocent government
But with White-House? All hunger-games and manhunt
I, by the way, am ready to hear any counter-views
As long as the truth is what your word pursues
Unless someone objects any of the above
Can I use my turn to get real mad now?
I hope we all know by now that American People and American Government are two seperate stories. I truly, utterly hate politics. However; when you look around, see all the damage, it is really hard not to talk about politics. All I can hope is that I was able to express that nuance (as in between people and the government) well.

If it doesn’t change
From person to person
OR
From nation to nation
A pure, simple justice
Is the sole key to happiness
Except for the super riches
Why worry about those sons of *******

To show the true affection
Marriages must be banned
People! Hear this interjection
It’s the best poem I ever penned
:)

If I could have found
Someone to express
I would’ve talked about
My Loneliness

In search of the enemy
If self is not the start
Most likely that inquiry
Will turn into a witch-hunt

If you’re a good person
It radiates. People know
If you’re a bad person
It radiates even more

Tell me my little
Do we solve the world’s problems first
-Hunger, poverty, inequality, wars, that is-
And then fall in love with each other
Or do we fall in love first
-Hearts, eyes, lips, rainbows, that is-
And all the problems are solved at once
Be careful with your answer though
It will tell me a lot about you
As my reaction will about me
