Say What You Mean

The news today is quite depressing
total unrest, is this a lesson
if strength is not found
then weakness is seen

leaders should be leaders
they must be prepared
strength is in numbers
that is where military prevails

say what you mean
and mean what you say
a tip from my grandmother
from many a past day

what is next for us to see
run and hide behind a tree
and maybe just maybe
we can stay free

If America can find
someone like Ronald Reagan
or maybe that lady
by the name Sarah Palin
