I will post one poem song here and give a link to the vide .wmv of it to be listened to. This one is about Iraq. It is called headlines. song written by Papillon I Just need a little hope as I wander down the street. Kidnapped by the headlines that keep me on my feet Villains and vigilantes ride the same parade The media points the arrows and show who to invade Graffiti fills the walls they call it regime change The music just gets louder and sounding kind of strange Call it code orange an new world order western democracy When you got the power you can write the A B C **************************************** Have been part of those who’ve been lied to all their lives I just know by instinct to read between the lines Words from all these experts the generals and the knights All these high tech vandals who’ve never seen it right When it comes to bleeding I know who’s blood will run It’s not the first time they want some killing done They are thirsting for heroes they always know the facts With a simple speculation they can destroy Iraq ******************************************* While uncle Sam keeps tabs and blinks at all our files Checking all our credits our mail and how we smile While machines just get faster better memory and cup’s It all feels like a nightmare in a NAZI zoo Meanwhile aids still kills thousands every day But that is so far might as well be the milky way Short attention deficit disorder affects 58 percent Most people don’t even vote for the president ************************************ Meanwhile we see the victims very quickly on TV all that collateral damage keeps piling up you see Broken lives are harder are harder to repair Than bombing cities leaving orphans every-where If I was a child living in Baghdad They destroyed my school And then they killed my dad. Then I might differ in opinion deep in my head And one day drive a car with a dirty bomb instead ******************************************** Children must worry as new enemies come to be Driven by their martyrs and leaders on TV Finger pointing experts and preachers of Jihad Singing to the masses in the angry ciudad If a secret deal was stuck in Athens or Hong Kong between a fanatic and some-one with a bomb Bigotry greed things you can’t ignore Especially when your leaders are marching you to war http://beadsongs.org/headlinestv.htm
