HAPPY COWBOY

He didn't realize
As he sat puppet like
With tightened lips
Concentrating on the telepronter
To be sure he read it correctly
And didn't make any blubers

A hair stylist was patting
Each hair in place
He didn't realize we were
Watching the hair stylist
Getting him ready
Under the direction of
His Hollywood Director

He was calm and at peace
He didn't realize this was
Not a Hollywood violence picture
Governments of Europe with
Millions protesting in the streets

He didn't believe real people
Would suffer or mercifully die
As he ordered Saddam to leave
His Kingdom within 48 hours
Or his 300,000 troops would
Invade Iraq, not as conquerers
But as liberators

As we watched in horror
Our puppet like man with
Tightened lips and calm voice
Had turned into the despot
Whom he despised and out to get

He was not conquering the people
Just out to get Saddam and his gang
Gitting them DEAD or ALIVE
He was bringing liberation and
Freedom to the people and their land

What right has our despot
To leave our shores to destroy
the land and its people
So very far away
And how could he be sure
He would liberate them
And from the despot he was
Trying to destroy
