WMD
The case for WMD--
discarded, departed or dead.
Where can these weapons be found?
Inside the president's head.
Our President Again
presents the case for war.
The choice is clear, his mouth insists,
eyes shifting with the light.
We fight them there, or fight them here.
The one beside you on the plane,
the bus, the train,or in your car
could be a terrorist.
Beware of those who smile or wave.
They're holding hostages, he says,
in Gaza, Baghdad, Lebanon,
omitting U.S.A.
