1.By JJB:
Whether or not one can believe
He seeks you for martial glories
And sends you places you can't conceive
Terrible places, not simply just stories
Across boiling seas, mountains and dunes
Nothing will ever clot those ghastly wounds
Another died for your sins
So when a life lost, millions more begin
Seeking meaning
Having strength
Overtly seeming
Less in length
Even if you are born agin'.
and
2. By Frederick:
Pathetic excuse for a human being
Rich folks and corporations are his "base"
Evil
Sociopath who delights in torture and killing
Iraq -- need I say more?
Dry drunk
Egomaniac (heaven knows why)
Nine/Eleven is his greatest achievement
Thinks he's taking orders from God
Good god, what a fuckup
Excrement in the shape of a man
Only president since Hoover not to gain jobs during a term of office
Redneck
Gay marriage he abhors
Exceptionally horrible
War Criminal
Born on third base, he thought he'd hit a triple
Undoubtedly the worst president ever
Stole his way into office twice
Hell is too good for him
