Wartorn
Wartorn
~~~~~~~
Streets lined and littered with discarded warriors of the Salvation Army
No marches in formation their battles for life fought on the streets
Of a war torn country, our own the United States of America
Living and dying on a daily basis, denied the human dignity of health, jobs
And homes that the banks don’t own
It’s a constipation of the constitution
A tattered old scribbling never meant to include me
The founding fathers folly and obsidian hearts
Speaking with forked tongues, lying of equality for all men with hate in eyes
Yet even more abuse of men in abundance, red, yellow, white, and black
Liberty and justice for some, mostly politicians and statesmen
Not speculation just a plain harsh and simple fact
