War Talk

Why are so many deceived?
Yes, I once believed,
But then I took the chance,
Thought for myself, took a stance...
Maybe America had the wrong intentions,
Put too much focus on detentions,
Thought of politics more than people,
Raised themselves too high on the steeple...
But the war saved lives,
Many lives,
Maybe too many died in saving,
But to say it was all bad is raving...
No more than a thousand died,
Even if America lied,
About weapons of mass destuction...
And goals of re-sonstruction...
But Saddam slaughted two million in twenty years,
The people of Iraq now only fear,
The devil they do not know, America,
They already have experienced the rules and obligations of Hussein...
Hussein, killed 8,333 a month,
270 a day, 1 every five minutes,
Do you see my debate,
I keep to this date...
It could have been done better,
But it would always have to be war,
None of that more peace-talks and such,
It wouldn't have gained anywhere near as much...
As the war that was not against Iraq,
But the dicator that made a muck,
And had the potential to becom Hitler,
Please listen to to what I have to say, sirs...
For it is true,
Even if out of the blue,
I empathise with those whose lives,
Were lost to save...
In the next year after the war,
Even with the lives lost,
97 thousand more...
Will live...
If only the world could be free...
