A Useful Death

A mother’s anguish turns to ire,
Her liquid tears to spears of fire,
A useful fool for the liberal Left,
All hatred now, no more bereft.
The honor which her son embraced,
Is now dishonored, now disgraced,
As his mother stands atop his grave,
From there to shriek, from there to rave.

Yes, some are maddened in their grief,
And grief can surely change belief;
But this woman’s views, her family say,
Have long been held, long fore today,
Enabling Leftists to use her grieving,
For Moore deception, Moore deceiving.
I see this mother as a willing fool,
A useful Moorish Code Pinko tool.

As one who fought in another place,
I sorrow for this boy’s disgrace,
By a zealot mother grafting grief
Stealing his brave deeds, an honor thief,
Usurping his valor to claim her share,
Five minutes of fame in Media’s glare.
Her platform one you don’t see often:
A dishonored, flag-draped, soldier’s coffin.

I can hear Michael Moore muttering under his breath,
“Yeah, this was really a useful death.”

I remember when I was active I had to sit with my mother and tell her that if something happened to me. It is the enemy’s fault and my choice. I told her that I would be very disappointed in her if she in her grief did not support what I was doing.

Life is not fair. I feel for Cindy Sheehan but this is dishonoring her son. I would be pissed it my mother was doing this.

    I imagine most sons would be pissed off Michael. This woman is nuts.

    And Russ Vaughn can write stuff. I’m so honored he sent that to us before anyone else. In fact he told me he didn’t send it to anyone else…How cool.
