A Poem for Alan Greenspan

So Greenspan let the hammer drop…
  This war is based on oil…
It’s not about the terrorists
  Who threaten our fair soil…
It’s not about democracy
  Like our Red, White and Blue.
Instead it is a way to keep
  The Oil revenue!

And Exxon says “Now don’t blame us…”
  And BP claims with Shell
That there’s no reason they’re involved
  To send our boys to Hell…
And OPEC can get eighty bucks
  For barrels once so cheap…
But Bush wants us to think Al Q.
  Is why we’re in this deep.

But I know what he really plans
  Beneath his hat of foil…
That sociopath will leave a swath
  Of our boys’ blood… for oil!
