Even Eisenhower never would have dreamed
\nthe military would be security for contractors
\ndolling out dollars smack in the middle
\nof a Civil War in Iraq
\nbuild ’em up
\nbomb ’em down
\nbuild ’em up again
\nwell yeah, Ike was an old man
\nthen retiring and seeing more clearly
\nand who remembers
\nin the writing of Ike’s farewell speech
\nhe wanted to be quoting as saying
\n“Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex”
\na few congressmen of course
\ndid not want the “body” of congress indited
\nand yes we know there was\/are corrupt members
\nand no, not all…
\nbut how are we the voters able to discern who is what
\nwith so many tongues snake oil and forked?
\nmotivation and follow the money.<\/p>\n
In the beginning was the Combustible Engine
\nIn the middle was addiction to oil
\nToday
\nthe Russians planted their flag on the North Pole
\nWhat oil contractor did not salivate?
\nWhat American felt resentment
\nover Russia’s claim to the oil under the North Pole?<\/p>\n
i am weary now so i read a weary poem
\nby a Master Poet, Ward Kelley
\nlook if you dare!
\nto the back side of colonizers<\/p>\n
