Eminem, Mosh 2004
"Maybe we can reach alqueda through my speech
Let the president answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country, we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes its all lies"
Eminem's song is a clear critique of the war in Iraq and how Bush was handling the situation with AlQueida, Osama Bin laden, 9/11 and the Iraqi war and how he's trying to impress his father. While in office Bush send more and more troops to Iraq. The song was a message to the American voters and released prior to 2004 presidential election, warning voters not to reelect Bush. Eminem wanted his message to influence the voters and rally together to make sure Bush wasn't reelected. Today George W. Bush is still scrutinized for the way he took care of things during his two-term presidency, unfortunately Eminem did not get his way. The literary elements used are internal rhyme, end rhyme, literal meaning, lyrical poetry, tone and the rhyme scheme is ABCDEEFG.
