Truth Be Told : A Time for Change
Who Pays the Price, When Our Leader Lies?
Who Sheds Tears, When A Hero Dies?
Who Wipes the Tears, from his Mother's eyes?
Who Lends a Hand When a Hero tries
to Pick Up the Pieces of His Own Life?
Who Risked his Life for You and I?
Who Told Us Lies and Who Was Right?
Who'll Lead Us Now, You Decide!
 
What We Need Is An Agent of Change!
If We Really Want to See a Change!
Some People Think We Need More of the Same.
We Know the End Result Will be the Same.
Because We Know There Is a Better Way,
So We Know There'll  be Brighter Days.
How Can We Spend a Trillion Dollars On War,
When It Wasn't One Worth Fighting For!

What Good Is Wealth, When You Have Poor Health?
What Good is Health, When You Have No Wealth?
Who Lifts Our Spirit Enough to Hope?
Who Gives Us Hope, When We Need It Most?
Is What Some Say, Really What They Mean?
Is What They Mean, Really What It Seems?
Who Seems The Same, Who Leads A Change?
The Choice Is Yours, It's Time For Change!

Lies Told Time & Again Won the Last Election. Shouldnt Truth Told Time & again win this election?

•  maybe a rhyming dictionary...

  ..would help your poetry.

  But it will not improve your naive thoughts of Obama as a change agent/saviour.

•  Lower case letters are your friends. n/t

  by Ekaterin on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 12:23:04 AM PDT

•  That's it, I'm convinced!

  I want to vote for simple slogans ("change," "hope," etc.).  No need for substance I suppose.  I was so "misguided."

  by Nihilvor on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 12:32:43 AM PDT

•  Um . . .

  It appears that this commentis the only thing this unit has done outside of this thread.  I'm calling bullshit.  Nobody can be this blissfully naive.  Really folks, this one isn't serious.

  •  "Unit"? n/t

    by Black Knight on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 01:15:20 AM PDT

    •  Yup.

      I don't believe in collective guilt.

      by MajorFlaw on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 10:53:52 PM PDT

  •  I did a Google search on the first line just for

    kicks.  Turns out this has also been posted in its entirety over at the Obama campaign website under Community Blogs.

    •  Excellent research, Sir/Ma'am.

      Do we currently know whether this unit has the right to reproduce said material here or is this a blatant copyright violation?  

      by MajorFlaw on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 01:22:33 AM PDT

      •  It appears that this is the work of this unit . .

        but that raises another question.

        If you’ve been inspired by Barack Obama like I have, copy and paste this post on as many blog pages as you can. Together we can help him bring about change.

        Sounds like spamming to me.  And he's rather nasty as well.  Opinioins?

        by MajorFlaw on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 01:32:48 AM PDT

        •  Well, that one line

          Who Risked his Life for You and I?

          is very ungrammatical. Standard over-correction for the I/me
          quandary.

          Should be: Who Risked his life for you and me?

          :-)  Just flew back home & don't have much to say about the diary
          EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE QUIBBLE.

•  Consider the lillies.

  Then consider deleting this diary.
  Each poet must confront
  The editor in themselves.
  Perhaps yours is distracted
  By political campaigns which refract
  Us from the issues that need attention.
  Please don't mention your candidate
  without acknowledging discension,
  lest others add discourse
  which may lead to tension,
  and many chime in with pooties
  and lessons in cookies and such,
  they see as their duties.

  'Tis the best I can do on short notice.

  •  Haiku in your poetic honor.

•  Sinister forces are at work,

  and why in the world would I give a jerk?

  Because he's there....where?

  I have no hair.

  It's not fair,

  but the air

  is dark with smoke, that I choke and a bloke
  (unlike all you other folk)
  could be forgiven
  for making a living
  dishing sarcasm and snark
  for coins in the park
  long after dark
  when the daisies are gray
  and sanity has gone away
  (all night I pray)
  for solace and purity
  despite my intellectual obscurity
  (I've got finish in a hurrity)
  I pine.
  That's fine.
  Don't whine.

  Good nine.

  •  Outstanding effort.

    Really puts this diarist to shame.

    by MajorFlaw on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 02:16:48 AM PDT

  •  PBJ

    We don't see near enough of you around here anymore.

    Hapy New Year, and good to see you.

    •  Hillary is Hillarious!!!!!

      U know, i know and evrybody knows she is the establishment that represents the old way of doing things. 1st she is courting women, simply because she is one, the she jumps on the change wagon being driven by barack, now she says she represents change. She is a chameleon with no identity of her own, but one thats maleable and changes like the weather, no wonder nobody knows her let alone likes her.You dont see me but you see Barack Obama Rising to the top while is hillary shrinking into oblivion. If you are her friend you should advice her to quit while she's ahead oops i meant behind and save a shred of whats left of her dignity. Which i quite accuratly estimate to be the size of a grain of salt...

•  Candidate diaries written in verse

  Are not an improvement; in fact, they're worse.
  And though I very much like Obama
  If he spoke in verse, I'd say goddamma.
  And if he used too many caps
  I'd have to consider it a serious lapse.
  Though I still wouldn't vote for Her Majesty, Clinton
  Because with her I'm just not smitten.

•  An Analysis

  Rethugs are red,
  Libruls are blue,
  But oil your doorhinge
  'Cause dKos is orange.
  And how did I turn that into a limerick?

  by The Sinistral on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 05:21:09 AM PDT

•  Our Barack is just one of those who stand

  Before us all, determined to cause change.
  And we, who of our leaders do demand
  Determination, vision and a range
  Of answers to our time's most pressing fears:
  how do we save the planet, and our kind?
  None of those who face the crowd's loudest cheers
  Has not faced this question, in their own mind.
  Which one, though, has the answer that we need?
  Who best to cause the Nation's course to turn?
  A Democrat, most certainly, will lead
  Us all to safety; Rights - they will return!
  We'll be safe as in the arms of Mama -
  I just don't know that we'll choose Obama.

•  "What Good is Health, When You Have No Wealth? "

  •  You do realize that this Dude

    is gonna need therapy as a result of this encounter.  Just sayin'.  

    Also, at the bottom end of a HC thread... that picture of a recuperating doggie and smartass comment you posted the other day was kinda hysterical.  Remind me not to mess with you.

    by MajorFlaw on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 06:30:55 AM PDT

    •  don't mess w/ me...

      ...link?

      by condoleaser on Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 06:35:33 AM PDT

      •  OK, but put your coffee down first.

        Linky

        Aw geez, I laughed again.  I am truly ashamed.  OK, maybe not so much.

•  Standard election diary tags added

  2008 elections, president, primaries, Democrats

  "Obama, barack" corrected to the standard "Barack Obama"

  Tag guidelines instruct that when names are used both the first and last names should be included (with no titles), and in cases like the George Bushes - the middle initials are essential.
