Congressman Owens: APOLOGIES ARE REAL COOL


APOLOGIES ARE REAL COOL

To apologize
Is real cool
But don't play
The Black agenda
For no eager fool.
Don't rush to play,
Delay thumping your chest,
Push your words
Into the action test:
Jobs right now we need,
Hungry mouths we have to feed,
Lots of ills
But can't buy pills.
Prison terms often repeat
Homeless shelters
Are never neat.
Tax cuts we can't eat,
Iraq war dollars wasted
Spell school repair defeat.
Right now!
Take the action test.
Show us the Bush best.
For any apology
We grant a pat
On the Republican back;
From Democrats
The slavery apology
We desperately lack.
To apologize
Is real cool
But don't play
The Black agenda
For no eager fool.


Let us pray that the legendary John Brown will rise from his grave and sound his bugle loudly to assist DNC Chairman Howard Dean in mobilizing an effective Democratic counterattack.

Of course, what will matter even more is what is done to make the apologies mean something.


Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists their cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."
