Many of my political poems are from the W. administration. If nothing else, Bush inspired a lot of poetry. For many liberals and independents the second Bush administration was a catalyst to become more involved in one way or another in politics. We had never seen anything quite like W.

Here's another poem from those dark days of W.

The Meaning of Torture

 

They are taken at night

Flown to classified countries without laws
on the dirt floor jails
they look for the meaning of life.
They define torture
While the President lies.
