I Cried.

[Azrienoch]

I Cried.

I laughed when Bush got away with stealing his first election.

I laughed when he choked on a pretzel.

I laughed when George spent more time fishing and golfing than he did being President.

I laughed when I woke up at 3:00 in the afternoon on September 11, 2001.

I laughed when Osama Bin Laden out-maneuvered the entire United States Military.

I laughed when people actually thought that America was in Iraq for a righteous reason.

I even cracked a joke about Grizzly Adams coming out of a hole in Baghdad.

I laughed when Howard Dean opened his mouth wide and made a funny sound.

I laughed with Michael Moore as the real George Bush was handed to us on a silver platter for everyone to see.

I laughed even harder when hardly anyone wanted to see.

I laughed when the only candidate left standing was an ugly, ketchup-eating billionaire, who wanted to represent the common citizen.

But I laughed the hardest of all when George W. Bush said he thought that the majority of the American people were stupid enough to believe his lies.

It's not funny anymore.

Oh! Oh! I'm going to cry too!!

You've summed up my thoughts on the whole depressing subject.

Very powerful message Azrienoch. I like the obvious nature and blunt tone of you message it seems appropriate to what you are saying. i found this INTERESTING and INFORMATIVE to who you are.

[Unikorn]

hear hear! *clap* *clap*

You have managed to speak on a subject that is so volitile - and yet your compassion and humour comes through, not adding fuel to any fires but a voice of question. I hear and share this voice. Thank you for your words.

[Azrienoch]

Thanks guys. I'm feeling better, but I'm still not fully recovered from it.

I spent all of Wednesday crying and saying that this just isn't funny...obviously the inspiration for this poem.
