We’ve lived to see George Bush depart
\nLike an ignominious fart.
\nWhat care we of sage’s moderation?
\nOpaque interpretations are not for me;
\nStanding on the hill-top in musing contemplation,
\nSurveying mans’ history as far as I can see;
\nThe gleaned knowledge at my command –
\nWhat does it say of us that I should care?
\nThat with such array of benisons to hand
\nThere is no limit to the debasement that he dare.
\nThose mindless acts comprising all those crimes
\nInflicted on his unknown kith and Nature’s law.
\nYet there are those who argue Nature’s law at times
\nIs more brutal than its creature man e’er saw,
\nAnd who am I, an ant, to judge another ant with power?
\nIf laughter is a sense I need no other
\nTo mock, and raise the hopes of those who cower
\nAs the bully’s acts destroy yet another brother,
\nYet, we simply cannot let your acts become
\nAnalysed by time that when historians view,
\nFrom a safe distant prospect, passing off as some
\nBehaviour proportional to its time, without condemning you –
\nYes you who have committed infamy and shame
\nOn Humanity and in your peoples’ name.<\/p>\n
