    ok, this was ment to be a collaborative peice...i only planned on starting a couple of lines but i guess i just kept going...the rhyming was fun.
    i totally hear this as spoken word with all the stresses...maybe a little rap flair...just came out that way...i like folk and blue grass *shrugs*
    i know i kinda concluded it, but i could of went on and on. so please feel free to get out your toxin and we will fit it in...or just start a new one :)


    Yeah,
    found this under my skin tonight
    unborn child, christian right?
    now we're gonna talk about
    whats not seen
    cause we’re the terrorists
    that taught the mujahadeen
    so stop…backup
    that plane hit what?
    the elite changed his seat
    to avoid that rut
    and you,
    you still got the ash under your nails
    what happened to the airforce
    tracking vapor trails?
    and somewhere in kabul
    you know a little girl shook
    but you you motherfucker
    kept on reading your book
    so stop…back up
    now were fucking the balkans
    for the likes of unical
    and the halliburtons
    a bloody legacy trafficking their soil
    paving way for afgan pipelines
    filled with vapor oil
    now enter bridas cause they
    beat you to the punch
    so you marry talibany
    and you eat their lunch
    but they proved much to greedy
    so you bombed them too
    and now you motherfuckers
    say osama who?
    stop, back up cause im calling you out
    for my brother in the trenches
    that you riddle with doubt
    you send him home in boxes
    with no bullet proof vest
    victim of a boy, he says
    “jew you next!”
    yeah that’s right, you created this hate
    and now you piece of shit
    your leaving us with this fate?
    orphans growing up
    with a scar on their heart
    because you know we need you dead
    for this healing to start
    and still,
    you talk of democracy and peace
    do you think we forgot
    about the man on the leash?
    so now,
    the born again is gonna hear our song
    you may think your slick dick
    but we're a whole world strong
    and you,
    you’ll know your burning close
    to the end of your thread
    when the lesson you’ve been
    teaching sinks into our head
    so yeah,
    i think your almost done
    the veil will be lifting
    and your song…
    sung.

    wow, ron, that's pretty powerful. i like the way you used the rhythm, line breaks and internal rhyme. it would definately be interesting to hear as spoken word.

    Man...grip me by the throat and punch me in the gut why dontcha. Jebuzz... insanely cool. The 'rap' feel only adds to the flair and anger. You can -really- feel this one just jabbing with each line. Thumbs up for ya!

    Ron,
    I really respect you because you know whats going on in the world. Poems such as yours are very rare to come by and have a lasting effect on the people who read them if they're open to how powerful the message is. I just want to say thanks for caring about the world like you do. You make a difference.

    -Ashley

    thanks! i'm glad you all liked it :)

    i added a couple of verses and added a couple of words.
    i've been warned not to edit my work too much, but this rant is just too fun to add too. let me know if you think its too much (or if you have anything to add)
    i think i might read this at an open mic...i can curse and yell agghhhhh!

    say osama who?
    bet ya didn’t know i knew that little fact
    maybe now you can tell us why you bombed iraq?
    tell us that your looking for those wmd’s
    you know they existed, you got the receipts
    but you don’t want to bother
    with that infraction
    cause sadam was just a weapon
    of mass distraction
    so stop, back up cause im calling you out

    so yeah,
    i think your almost done
    soon the veil will be lifting
    and your song…
    sung.
