I will not call you Mr President Mister Bush for you will do <br />For to any higher human principles you never could be true <br />You remind me of the garden weed who stifle the pretty flower <br />That's what you've done to many people with your gross abuse of power. <br /> <br />Saddam Hussein is in prison awaiting trial that is where he ought to be <br />Though you are worse than he is or so 'twould seem to me <br />For you have caused more deaths than he and more suffering and tears <br />And you want to be President for another four long years. <br /> <br />If you get re-elected in November perhaps your next war will be with Iran <br />Mr Kerry cannot be worse than you though I know little of the man <br />For anyone would do better than you as you are not up to the task <br />You give us war and bloodshed though peace and love is all we ask. <br /> <br />Even if the U S voters re-elect you in November I will not say they are right <br />I will only think that in the darkened tunnel they have chosen the lesser light <br />You've talked of winning hearts and minds in Iraq though hearts and minds are never won <br />By a smart bomb or a cluster bomb or through the barrel of a gun. <br /> <br />You will never impose western values on the people of Iraq <br />These people know what serves them best and they want their old values back <br />In a free and fair election there to your disgust you will find <br />That you have not won any Iraqi hearts and not one Iraqi mind. <br /> <br />I will not call you Mr President for that title you do not seem qualified <br />Far too many deaths because of you and far too many dreams destroyed <br />And you want four more years of power and if re-elected it would seem <br />That to win the hearts and minds of Iran would be your next great dream.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-will-not-call-you-mr-president/
