Trust, Trust, Trust

Trust, Trust, Trust
By Dr. Tina Medina
Whether it is Benghazi or Kansas City,
You will call and she won’t answer
The pattern and practice is established
You will call and she won’t answer
That is why I do not trust her
Trust, trust, trust
It is at the heart of all matters
If trust can’t be established, then what happens at home…everything may be in disarray and scattered
If in Benghazi, no compassion and love for fellow man was shown
What will happen here at home?
Please hear me, you will call, but she will not answer
She had her chance to save lives in Benghazi
She may fry you like BBQ in Kansas City
Now I know I am getting creatively drastic
But, we do have the BBQ sauce and the pits, that woman is not legit
For 13 hours, our brothers cried out for help and mercy
And no help came
Now who is playing game
Let me remind you, no one came
We are the ultimate super power, yet no one came
How the hell does that happen and when did we stop hearing the pleas of our people
Those cries were probably heard spiritually from all the world’s church steeples
A true leader will act and command for help at all cost
There was a time that no American lives would ever be lost
Come on now, 13 hours there were cries for help to our nation’s Secretary of State
Yet were the mics on mute because the pleas were drowning out their public relations debate
She and Obama had access to everything – Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines
Yet they did not do a damn thing!
Human life was the cost
And to be honest, those lives did not have to be lost
Please hear my plea
Those lives did not have to be lost
I rather call out to Jesus because He is the only first responder
Too bad, we can’t write Him in on the ticket
Because 13 hours of waiting is a sign of poor leadership…it is a deficit
No one came because it was not politically adequate for her
Yet can she wash the blood off her hands with frankincense and myrrh
All the spices and riches from the Middle East cannot make this issue of trust simply go away
We Americans are not stupid, nor will be fooled by statements of delay
When asked about Benghazi
What difference does it matter….that is what she had to say
You see in these aspects of true leadership when it involves life and death
What difference does it matter! The harshness of her tone is a bit scary
What difference does it matter!!!
Let me tell a secret that you make know now or perhaps have forgotten
And this will make the story even more rotten
We live in a Jack Bauer “24” hour live-feed, real time Big Brother is watching your tail life
Our state of technology is off the chain
Those people did not have to suffer and die in vain
Come on now, do you think really think that the American people can’t filter through the political strife
We are all not playing Pokemon and forgetting about real life
The truth of the matter is that you were very lame
I have the constitutional right to write what I feel has just been a bunch of smoke and mirrors…plain out game
Just to find out that for 13 hours, no help ever came
Please, please let’s stop playing hide and seek games
The truth is very, very clear
Some of us simply don’t trust you because you did not answer the call from Benghazi
The question, we as a nation should be asking is what is she going to do in my city?
Let’s break it on down to a personal level
At any time during the 13 hours, she could have responded
No actions show that there is a lack of compassion and she is disheartened
How can you let people die?
When you got the eye in the sky!
We could have called down hellfire and saved the day
But you all wanted to play!
My heart goes out to the families of those four men as their lives matter more today
Because they represented their nation and fulfilled their call without any delay
Perhaps in God’s plan to wake up this nation
Their sacrificed lives will allow us to see the true revelation
The job takes moxy, strength, heart, love of people, and pure dedication
A true God ordained leader that is called will do all of their best to save the life of a brother
Action, fight, defend, lead, grow, pray, make things happen, be creative and save is what this nation was built on... there simply is no other
