Stealing America

…As a proud American,
…Who sees the trouble were in,
 	
…I can not believe my eyes,
…Watching them all spin their lies,
 
…Then I witness these events,
…Happen time and time again,
 
…And as our attention shifts,
…They play us all like puppets,
 
…These bold nefarious acts,
…Happening behind our backs, 
 
…As they plunder the coffers,
…As they take back door offers,
 
…And sell our votes for profit,
…They steal right from our pocket,
 
…And as they all watch Rome burn,
…They huff and puff mock concern,

ok, now tell my your party. hahaha (not that it means anything. I have to plead Independent these days!) but I think one party is a tad more corrupt than the other! Hey, thanks for your response to Cinder Girl. If you are kind of new here, welcome to the club. I am a bit new myself. It's fun once you start cmmenting and getting to know everyone. Love that Gull name. Andrea
