    I wrote a political poem last night and I'm turning it into a metal song. I'm already coming up with guitar parts and I'm probably going to spend the rest of the day on that. Anyways, here's my poem. It's dedicated to George W. and all the other shitty presidents we've had.

    “President Death (Where’s The Love?)” (T.Henry)

    What is this path of glory that we are marching on?
    Will it lead us to our victory or will our hate live on and on?
    Can we really trust our leader or are we his sword and shield?
    And who really is the winner on this bloody battlefield?


    Well I will pledge my allegiance and take my flag
    But I will never sell my soul to President Death


    You killed our friends
    You killed our glee
    You killed our families
    You killed our loyalty


    Where’s the love?
    When will it end?
    When will our boys begin their march back home?
    Do or die, justify
    Isn’t life worth so much more?
    Where’s the love?


    Well now President Death has been elected again
    Whose broad stripes and bright scars brought them pain
    He unleashed revenge, he dropped the bombs
    And just when we thought we were through with it, he red, white, & blew it


    Now tragedy and agony left the world in fear
    And now everywhere you look, all you’ll see is blood and tears


    Where’s the love?
    When will it end?
    When will our boys begin their march back home?
    Do or die, justify
    Isn’t life worth so much more?
    Where’s the love?


    Well if I could shake hands with President Death
    And look him in the eye
    I’d ask him only one question….


    Where’s the love?
    When will it end?
    When will our boys begin their march back home?
    Do or die, justify
    Isn’t life worth so much more?
    Where’s the love?
