Hurricane George

by

J. M. Hallett

You destroyed their hopes
With your rigged elections
You destroyed their faith
Or you tried, anyway
As you nervously, yet deliberately
Allowed the first 3,000 to perish
You used that to hold a gun to their heads
As you shackled them with fear
You stripped away their rights
As you turned neighbor against neighbor
You pummeled them with ridicule
As your fascist spies hid to watch them react
You forced them to fund your own personal
Trillion dollar wars
Then murdered untold thousands
Perhaps millions
As there can never be an accurate count
And for eight long and torturous years
You and your cohorts held the nation hostage
As you skipped like giddy school children
Across the corpses of those cut down
By war, recession and abject poverty
And you laughed all the way to the bank
And, as it turns out, your destructive force
Was a thousand times worse
For the country... for the entire planet
Than Hurricanes Osama or Sadam
Could have ever hoped to be
Even in their most horrendous hurricane dreams
