VETERAN' RESPONSE

Sitting and moping
In bars my heroes doping
An avid Seahawk fan
Those days are over
Love my country
Faake news is boring---!
Mom must have filled your mouth with soap
Ivory snow is Jewish made you know
My flag is precious
Game day I always wore
Number 12 colors
I well save it for paint jobs
All lives have meaning
Violent crime in USA is up two years in a row
This should be the protest not colors or flag
Take stolen guns away from Fatherless kids
Now there is a stand to take
Bring back Mom and Dad to America
Rid the world of drugs and killings

Policeman, fireman, Korean store owners
Babies who do not know their fathers
Their lives matter most of all to me
Regardless of skin color
Today I took the jersey off
Taking a stand children
Today saluted the flag
Did this every football game from a child
Grandpa and I did not miss a game

Google which cities have the most murders
That should give a clue
Why most of Police shootings are there

And today I turned the TV off
You do not serve me with your sitting
I served you so you could sit in freedom
Crime has increased tenfold
Who but the police control the gangs
Not the man sitting on a bench
This is the racial injustice
I well stand up against
Two or three NFL players
Charged in abusive relationships
Where do you find an athlete?
The nearest bar or Casino
I'm sorry did I hear Reno
Or were the brothers in Vegas
I'm a little confused of this protest
