Rant: 1,000, 24,000, That's A Lotta Minutes genre: Rhyme-N-Reason & Tongue-In-Cheek

George Bush has 1,000 days left in his Presidency. That is 24,000 hours. When I pondered this information, it made me think about the play Rent...so needless to say...since I like playing with words, I decided to play with the lyrics to Seasons Of Love and call my little ditty, Rant - Season To Vote.

Rant - Season To Vote

One thousand, twenty-four thousand
That’s a lotta minutes
One thousand, twenty-four thousand
Moments we fear,
One thousand, twenty-four thousand
That’s a lotta minutes
How do you measure - measure your fear?

In Iraq - in Sudan
In Tehran - There’s al-Zarqawi
In Kabul - No smiles
Disasters - The bomb

In - one thousand, twenty-four thousand
That’s a lotta minutes
How do you measure?
The life that is gone?

How about wrong?
How about wrong?
How about wrong?
Men who are gone

Reasons are wrong
Reasons are wrong

One thousand, twenty-four thousand
That’s a lotta minutes
One thousand, twenty-four thousand
Gurneys of men

One thousand, twenty four thousand
That’s a lotta minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a soldier or a man?

In truths that we learned
Or in tears that we cried
In bridges he burned,
By the way that he lied

It’s time now - To speak out
Or this war never ends
It’s not too late
November this year is time for an end

Remember my friends
Remember my friends
Victory descends!

Oh you got to remember my friends! remember my friends,
You measure in votes, know that a vote is what needs to be wrote, Season to vote
Please vote, just vote, must vote. Danger, danger time that you vote

Ohhh!!!
Season to vote........
Danger, time that you vote
