His Land 1-13-18

I think I have solutions to

our country's deep disgrace.

I think I have the answers to

the problems that we face.

Yet heroes fought and died for me,

so who am I to brag?

Oh, who am I to claim to be

the bearer of our flag?

Deserve I little comfort now.

Let bombs burst in the sky!

While I encumber those like me

our taxes go sky high.

I vote for those who promise things,

that put food on my shelf.

I vote for free stuff I can get

that benefits myself.

Are we a nation full of sin

that we have not a clue?

Greed has so unraveled threads

of our red, white and blue.

The red continues running as

the white becomes blood-stained.

The blue has faded into gray.

We all should be ashamed.

And politician's greed and graft

I also will speak of.

It seems that they have helped themselves.

For country, they've no love.

Great heroes fought and died for them,

so who are they to brag?

And who are they to claim to be

the bearers of our flag?

If they, nor I, have right to bear

our flag that we hold high -

then who can be our leaders now

when all we do is lie?

With lobbyists and twisted words

our country cannot stand.

Yes, God will one day judge us all -

for this is still His land.
