dear occupant
we are expert movers
no job is too small
or too big
for our staff
we are certified and bonded
and guarantee our work
read the generic mail

i read and threw it
in the garbage

in the wee hours today
am thinking of the white man
who will be shortly vacating
                     that house

a man low in self esteem
                     and lower in polls
who should be punished
for mayhem and incompetency
and incarcerated for the rest
                    of his natural life

will the movers
wrap, seal and remove
the injustices, deaths, wars
this born again zealot wreaked
on the unsuspecting many?

will it be the same movers
who move in the black man
                   in the white house
with hope and dreams
                   so children
born and unborn cackle
smile innocent smiles
                   in far off lands?
love people who are in awe of words. words are the sole arbiter and the final survivor. desicritic editor, slave and slave-driver.

why do you have to bring his religion into question ? you are trying to imply born-again christians are war mongers.By your logic Islam should then be the religion of terrorists since Bin Laden is one.

thanks amitabh and blokes:)

history tells us to thank the war of 1812 that left the interior gutted and walls charred...they were painted white....

kela:

the zeal and fervour of any born-again is intense and often tilted...dubya is no exception

as for undoing and unraveling some of his misrule check this
