Filty Coat

Her coat said I really don't care, do you
Since you asked I do

They always used fear tactics on the weak
Al Kaida, ISIS Black men Brown Men border tweak

None of them have an army marines or air force
They will walk and swim here of course

The weak seek shelter in their bible or a gun
No where to be found when the fighting was done

The warriors are cast off like lepers when they are done
Suicide, homelessness hospital waiting lines hidden Son 

The halls of Congress are filled with cowards 
They but fighting boys but only use words 

The masses cry for protect of imaginary foe
While boys die and the rich rake in the dough

She really doesn't care nor do they
Only idiots will continue to kill and die and  pay
