When you look around what do you see
Millions involved in dishonesty
A nation in chains by subterfuge
Victim of a scam that is so huge.
How sad that this is where we’ve wound up
Sipping tragedy from one cracked cup
We’ll do our best to escape the goons
Please God help save us all from buffoons !
The cannibals are on a path
Appearing to be full of wrath
Consuming all that came before
The good, the kind and so much more.
With scant discretion on their part
They operate without a heart
It matters not what they destroy
Or which tactics they employ,
The need for power is all they know
However shall this nation grow ?
To those of you who can’t recall,
One war was fought to end them all
How foolish was it that we thought
This war would be the last we fought !
The lesson that we should have learned
Our history too often spurned,
Like those who never went to war
Don’t have a clue what war is for !
The bloody battles, millions dead
Broken bodies, hunger and dread
These mean nothing, you weren’t there
You have not known this great despair !
You think that war is just some game
Untouched by loss, you are the same
You sleep, you eat, you talk the talk
But you have never walked the walk !
Oh cowards all, that’s who you are
You speak so grand from oh so far
But show us now what you can do
Tis time you shared your colors true !
The sky is clear the sun so bright
A welcome change and sheer delight
The wind caresses all the trees
There’s salted breath upon the leaves
The water washes on the shores
The river hums the ocean roars.
Think back to times long gone away
When stalwart ships entered the bay
Folks came with baggage sparse and lean
Unknowing what the trip would mean
To greet this new world of their dreams
This foreign land where freedom gleam’d.
For most it was a great success
Each garnered something to possess
Those lessons learned seem long forgot
Replaced by greed and unctuous rot
Our government the gross suspect
Has changed our land by forced neglect !
