THE BUSH ERROR



After seven long years
Of George W. Bush's terrorism,
I cannot believe that
Anyone would really consider,
Ever voting Republican again.

Republican terrorism
Has surely ended once and for all?
No-one would ever vote
A Republican government back in
After the evil George W wrought.

Surely Republicanism is
Now truly lying dead in the dust?
No-one could be so stupid
As to give the Republican Party
Another chance in the White House?

The error or Bush-ism
Both George W and Senior Bush,
Surely is dead now
Barrack takes us back to decency
Back into the world of democracy.

Surely Bush-style terrorism
Could never exist in American again?
Americans seem intelligent
Can intelligent people possibly be
Dumb enough to vote another Bush in?

About this poem

What in God's name were American thinking, voting this totalitarian monster into power twice? Once could be put down to simple, if moronic, error, but twice? God save us from such redneck imbeciles!
