Ripped From The Headlines©
Our homeless wander the streets lost
but our money sent abroad because:
they can't keep their legs crossed.
Our retireees losing benefits right and left,
while politicians get rich daily
for creating a big mess.
I always thought loyalty is shown
by taking care of one's own:
afterall doesn't charity begin at home?!
How come the world doesn't owe you a living
but when it comes to one abroad we're so giving?
I'm just a lowly reporter but report what i see:
i see none other giving America her due so freely!
I saw a man whose only friends
were a dog and book in hand.
I saw a vet i'll not soon forget.
I saw a poor soul passers by
ignored for their life so grand.....
THE HEARTFELT TIMES
