A Three Part Discussionon Nukes, Famine,Omar, Jobs, Jesse Helms, and The
Hague

The "president" put up his dukes
and he's forgot about Pakistan's Nukes
and refuses to examine
our part of the famine
in a war that was more than a fluke

The Times says jobs are "shedding"
and Reuters says they are "bleeding"
the van's tires flattened
by egos now fattened
has naught to do with Omar's "absconding"

he speaks of each enemy as though its a plague,
Jesse Helms wants to blow up The Hague
we don't commit war crimes
wars are just bad times
where the reporting is ever so vague
