"Lives On A String"

"Lives on a String"
by- Jacob Fitzlaff


Upon your pedestal built of lies,
I see your face as advertised.
You preached of peace,
But then brought war.
The body count stands as your reward.

Upon your throne built of greed,
I see you smile as you decieve.
You preached of peace,
But then brought war.
The body count is stacked for more.

Upon your pillar built of hype,
I can see the fruits of death are ripe,
You preached of peace,
But then brought war.
See the desert? The body count soars.


This isn't much, just something that came to me a few nights ago. Hopefully, I will start posting here more often.

You closet hippie, you. haha And I just told you to go write something in my thread. I'm good.

I liked this. It's got that old protest song vibe to it, but you barely eluded to what area it was about. I think you could get a chorus going in this and a break to add some diversity to it if it is song material. It's pretty darn good and I liked the way you utilized the similar lines. I'm not saying I agree with it, but it's well done.

Ever heard "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire? That's one of my favorite protest songs. It's a classic.
Good to see you posting again.

Heh, I think it's pretty obvious it's about Bush and Iraq. I enjoyed it.

Ha. LB'XXX that makes you look old

It was actually inspired by my friend's brother. He recently got drafted, and he's scared.

I'm glad to be posting here again. I had a dry spell

In the States? There's no draft here, is there? Are you sure someone isn't rattling you? It sure sounds like it unless he had a choice between military or jail. I've heard of that before, but it depends on the offense though.

We all have our dry spells. Glad you're getting out of it.

It's cool. I just figured there'd be a lot more squawking going on if the draft was issued again.
Keep writing where ever the inspiration comes from.
