It's troubled times we live in
under leadership that's failed
And if you raise a voice to it
You'll surely end up jailed

They vote to now raise taxes
take away our guns
Restrict our rights and liberties
Outlaw joy and fun

Who are these souls who feel this right
and yet won't grant our nation
The peace and freedoms they enjoy
Where's the peoples ration?

They shed a tear on public stage
to calm the grieving masses
Then order death in other lands
while sitting on their a$$e$

They order children off to die
in lands they seek to pillage
Claim it was a terrorist threat
when drones destroy a village

Where are the tears for those poor souls
those killed in foreign lands
There is no soap or cleanser
that could clean their bloody hands

The media then glorifies
the acts of evil shown
as kids and wives of others die
from bombs of silent drones

Who are we, allowing acts
These evil souls decree
Are these the acts that now define
Our great "land of the free"

sad but true.. well said!

Hello Soul.. I feel you on this subject... the worst part beyond the disillusionment that our country has failed it's own people, is the helplessness to feel that we can't do anything about it... I better not say anymore becuz I'm so passionate about this my emotions and then mouth could get the better of me... but thanks for this write to remind us..................
