Joe The Plummer

He's not really a licensed plummer.
Although he quips,
As if he is legit.

His name is not even Joe!
But Samuel.
Just like a famous Mark Twain...
Who has penned fantasies,
We all are familiar and come to know.

And both Samuels...
With divergent claims to fame.
Have the same thing going!
Opinions about life.
Under pseudo names.

But Joe the Plummer has been given a 'mic'.
To report from the edge of a battlefield.
To describe what war is like!
And how journalists reporting the facts...
Should be banned from doing so.
Since these acts distract.

And he has been given authority...
With a passport granted to speak freely!
On topics of World issues,
And how they should be conducted.
In the support of those who keep...
Peace elusive and obstructed!

As he represents a segment of people,
Totally illusioned and fantasized.
From a point of view that 'legalizes'...
The ears prepared to feed on deceit.
With a continuance of unscripted lies.

'Scripted or unscripted,
This is still BS! '

Of course it is.
For those with wishes,
To keep themselves conscious.
