by Brian McLaughlin
The needs of the people why are they not met where is the compassion of the government for its citizens The future of our nation is in their hands yet they allow the nation to grow weak through its homelessness and its hunger To me it's a crime that the only dime that they're willing to spend will find its end in the pockets of the wealthy this is not healthy for once the spending class dies because of political lies our nation will crumble to the third world we'll tumble All for a people so weak with an outlook so bleak our homelessness growing the government should have been knowing corporations aren't people the politicians are the sheeple only the rich do they care for it's their greed that they feed more ignoring the folks they've been sworn to represent Let them live in a tent Money spent on defense is one of these lies but again to the contractors is where they have ties this is a great failing of our American congress but how can you blame them as war is big business padding their pockets feeding their greed while all the while ignoring the need Of the People The needs of the people should have come first yet these folks who are in power satisfy their own thirst On the backs Of the People When will they learn will it become far too late can they turn this around or have they finally sealed the fate Of the People
