 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

During WW2 in the Philippines

WW2 not all that long ago in the Philippines ever true
Some that fought with them are not all dead yet..
And grand parents raised children now with children
But it surprises me how selective memories they forget..

Just what USA they actually did during this very time
They gave their all but the Philippines almost hit the floor..
The enemy had caves full of ammunition up in the north
USA blew them but under mountains their'd be more..

Helped the poor and the wealthy too and many had died
Endless losses filipino's and of USA but stayed until won..
After remained in place to help clean it up best they could
Under both moonlight then as well as under filipino sun..

They until this day patrol the pacific and without them here
There'n not be a Philippines and how soon memories disappear..
They vowed they'd not give up on the Philippines in any way
Regardless of religion or powers that be USA is still here..

New generations with selective and shortest ever memories
Forgetting Filipino's that saw and wore the worst then to be..
And many who before raised them put them through schooling
Growing rice and with hardest work had gotten them a degree..

Even some now in government who claim to know it all back when
Long before they knew their ABC and long before they were born..
Only have the USA to thank for all they had done during WW2
And other countries near by who back then never had time to yawn..

If ever USA decided not to keep their vows and let the Philippines
In these times carry their own swag alone in the Philippines instead ..
They'd learn more than in any university and showing passed family
that their respect for all they did not so long ago they consider dead..

They it ever happened again they'd be sitting ducks on their knees
As most here would uselessly fall in prayer asking god to come..
Again unable to remember he's never done so before ever in time
Instead of picking up and using as they did long ago a gun..

Religion the worlds greatest sin without them no greed or war
Brainwashed now to think God will turn up and save the day..
By a religion that could buy the Philippines with small change
Until eternity they'll never see it happen and they still pray..

A fool can see what's ahead and yes USA will still be here
Doing what they did before now only better this time for sure..
The entire world will use the Philippines again if it still exists
But USA will be here again right at the Filipino's very door..

Credit is due where credit is due or there'd be no Philippines
All now running amuck will be taken care of at the same time..
The Philippines carpets will be swept and cleaned for good
Only this time they'll leave no bugs upon them of any grime..

It's regardless of what any may think of late come what may
USA vowed then it still does and keeps it's word of integrity
They protect all of the pacific Philippines included as well
No USA to protect all Philippines will be bottom of the sea..
