America's War
What should I write about today,
So many important things to say.
Like what is on tv this morning
More bad news, I saw that coming
Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,
Our boys are fighting, we want them back.
The soldiers know just what to do,
It's the politicos who have no clue.
Some say send more, some say less,
I say "Don't the generals know what's best?"
Let's follow thier experienced lead
Fight these wars and end these things.
Is it even possible for us to win?
Didn't we learn this in Vietnam?
We fight an enemy we cannot find
They laugh at us all the time.
America, the world's remaining superpower,
Can't find one guy for eight years now.
I say instead of using soldier's eyes
We do our looking from the skies.
With fighters and bombers and missles too,
and all the damage that they can do.
Why risk one soldier to an IED
When we can take out a whole city
Isn't this why we bought these weapons,
To warn off unfriendly foreign aggression?
Instead they sit on ships and subs,
I say it's time to take off the gloves.
They came after us in New York City,
Now it's our turn to make them see.
That America does not play games.
When at our citizens ,they take aim.
A few missles landing in their back yards
Should make them realize its not that hard
For us to get them wherever they may be
If we fight our war with technology
Finding one man is hard, it's tough
But with a missle close is enough.
If we take out everything that is standing
Sure makes it easier for the planning
He is hiding somewhere behind key and lock,
Lets start bombing block by block
Eventually they'll turn him in,
When they see we're not playin.
They will say" we have had enough"
It's America that's tough.
This one man is not worth our country
Not worth our lives,loves and family
Then our soldiers can come home,
Ended,finished case is closed.
Till the next time we are attacked,
but they will know we WILL fight back.
Showing them we will now cower
We have American firepower.
We have soldiers who are the best,
we want victory and nothing less.
So to the zealots we say to thee
Find some other way to plea
Your cause to the world today
Don't come at us, we WILL NOT play.
