$6.6 billion

$6.6 billion

A Poem by delapruch
"

mad?

"

as if

mr. obama’s assassination of

the unarmed &

defenseless,

bin laden,

wasn’t enough of a thorn in ex-president w’s side,

auditing investigators have released information

detailing the

MISSING

$6.6

BILLION

DOLLARS

that the geniuses at our

pentagon

sent as a part of a $12 billion in total,

cash airlift,

to

“post-war iraq” in

2004---

this supposedly misplaced money

was iraq’s---

taken from iraqi asset’s & the sale of oil during the

war that also had

“ended”

at this point in time---

this debt was to be paid back with

money

drawn directly from our pockets,

if you are an american

tax payer.

 

as if you yourself cannot think of thousands of ways

which this

“largest theft of funds in national history”

could have been used to help our

desperate & suffering

domestic

population,

who continues to be hurt by cuts to services which are

needed

to better our lives,

( but instead are drained from us, used only to fund

military actions all over the world as we,

the declining policeman,

attempts to keep control of what is so very

obviously slipping out of our

grasp by

beating every last resisting entity over the head with our

baton)---

consider that with this money that was lost,

“is the equivalent of the amount needed to run the

Los Angeles Unified School District or the Chicago

Public Schools for a year”---

yes,

think of all the teachers being laid off in our country

because of our inability to put the

education of our

children

first---

& while you’re at it,

think of being the richest country in the world,

still---

without universal health care. 

 

mad?
