Toxic! <br />That's what he is now called. <br />By his own! <br />This is not gossip. <br />His own people have grown tired and sick. <br />They have thrown him to the curb. <br />An act he has long deserved. <br />They wish to be distanced. <br />And this they are doing quick. <br />But that should have been done long ago. <br />Before he was permitted... <br />To bring upon pain, heartache and sorrows. <br /> <br />Admitting now, <br />He is radioactive. <br />He and those who have created these conflicts. <br /> <br />Toxic. <br />Deadly. <br />Like a sulfuric gas. <br />Many have smelled this. <br />Knowing from him this was passed. <br /> <br />'Yeah...? <br />But 'who' put him there? <br />He was not elected. <br />He was clearly picked and selected! <br />And he is not the only bearer of these fumes. <br />Nor should it have taken eight painful years... <br />To discover he and 'his' <br />Were poison! <br />Even the sight of others dieing... <br />Brought them and so many to rejoice!
