Dick Cheney sleeps in peace each night
A classic case for Freud
No nightmares of the innocent
Young lives that he’s destroyed
Does he ever think on had they lived what they’d become
Our soldiers, gone where he’d not go
Iraqi children dead or numb
When going ‘bout his day has he
One solemn moment steeped
In the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
He’s consigned to weep?
Does it ever once occur to him
There’s much he must redress
And with his conscience all alone
To what does he confess?
Or is he void of much of what the bulk of men possess
A twinge of guilt for things we’ve done
Tho’ next to him far less
No, he believes that he was right to lie us to our death
No fact will ever change his mind
Nor will his dying breath
Unapologetic, he writes his great memoir
No mention of the work he did in
His own abattoir
Unfeeling, cold-eyed, unrepentant
Asked about all dissent he says “So”?
Making mockery of families resentment
Making false all the truths they now know
And he flogs his memoir to the faithful
Who know not to believe their own eyes
Even as they all gaze at this wraith full
Of darkness, and secrets, and lies
If I believe in heaven as a place for good to dwell
I must believe with heart and soul
His place awaits in hell.
Post Script:
Headline: Devil LOVES his transcription
Admits him after fatal conniption
Here is his obit
(I wish they could strobe it)

Posted by barkinginthedark | December 5, 2011, 2:55 amIt’s always pissed me off that the Bushes and the Cheneys and the Blairs of this world can make world changing decisions for the worse….and then ride off into their respective sunsets to enjoy a trouble free existence. And I agree with Lisa, these people are evil for they tell lies and send innocent people to their deaths on the back of them, plain and simple. Well done for stirring the pot, Tony.

Posted by barkinginthedark | December 3, 2011, 11:50 pmYour serious tone here is well deserved. Cheney isn’t funny, no matter how you look at him. To think, he was only a heartbeat away from the highest office in this land. He is truly the stuff of nightmares.

Posted by barkinginthedark | December 3, 2011, 5:32 amYou hit the nail on the head. Oh, would that that nail were planted in his head! I think that’s what really makes contemplating this man’s deeds so maddening. The deeds themselves are horrendous beyond belief but the fact that he displays no remorse or reflection on them whatsoever is mind-numbingly infuriating. At the risk of being damned myself, I can
only hope he will somehow have to pay someday. But is this pile of excrement worth one other soul? I think not…I know this: On the day he dies I plan to party in a big way.
