Iraq Oh Bomb-ah
by gnimbley the gnome

Black man wins our hearts
Promises an end to war
Things remain the same


A seed planted deep
Promises are like cherries
Ripe and then soon sour


Why we ever thought
Killing them would win their hearts
When's that ever worked?


While awaiting change
Maybe a little bitching
Would do us some good
