To George W Bush Poem by Francis Duggan

George W Bush you have declared your war on terror but by declaring war then terror you too spread
Were you in Afghanistan where your bombs fell and watched the peasants there bury their dead
And have you heard the bereaved mothers grieving in unmarked graves their sons and daughters lay?
For the innocents of New York of September the innocents of Afghanistan had to pay.

George W Bush so many see you as a hero but I only see you as a lesser light
For one with such great power at your disposal you ought to know two wrongs don't make a right
You ought to know when your war planes bomb foreign cities that many innocents in those bombing raids will die
Your war on terror has left thousands homeless and so many hopes and dreams you did destroy.

George W Bush you might do well to consider your plans on declaring war on Iraq
By you declaring your so called war on terror you increase the chances of revenge attack
You must know it takes more than one to tango and for any war there's more than one to blame
The people of Iraq enough have suffered your father there has left his trail of shame.

George W Bush to many you are a hero but some people for their heroes don't look far
For the poor of other Lands you don't show much compassion and you'll always be seen as a man of war
You've left your trail of sorrow in Afghanistan and your next target you say will be Baghdad
We know about the evil of old Saddam and sad to say George you are just as bad.
