Maybe To Washington It's Not Clear

For 3 days I've moved very lazy and slow Plenty to do but no motivation to go Playing games reading the topics that around the world can be seen Listening to the News wondering what it all could mean Hearing about the rich that want to give more They would be better off just handing some out to the poor Then men prisoned for life or many years to come Sent to war and told what needed to be done To start the fight they didn't have a choice No one ever asked to hear anyone's voice Many people may not understand To Follow order they swore and raised their hand Some may not have that sort of luck But once they return in limbo they could easily get stuck I believe for all that each one of them do They deserve something from me and you That should come from the money that each week we donate Because of them we all have a life supposedly top rate Not really sure how we could all be heard But some how the white House needs to get the word These people left their family kids and maybe a wife Into battle each one ready to give up their life Maybe In Washington it just isn't clear That with out those brave Soldier's our freedoms wouldn't be here!
