Duct Tape Blues

To George Bush in Rome


How does it make you feel
the outpouring of grief and love for the pope,
and know that millions upon millions are morning
while you are hated by so many many millions more.

What a contrast of white and black.
for a pope who has done so much for good,
while you have lied, you have killed and destroyed
You would not be more the anti-christ if you could.

The people of Darfur are dying
while you go to the Pope's wake
You make a speech about the genocide
and do nothing more while the women keep crying

Do you understand that upon your own death
many people will also come from afar
who despise you, and hate you and will spit on your grave.
for they will remember your greed and avarice war

How sad that you won't rest in peace
without someone guarding your remains.
not because you will be beloved
but because someone may piss on your face.
