Over and over

No one else knows what we're going thru,
What's coming next week really wish we knew,
Some days just seem just simply great,
Others we grab coffee sit down and debate,
The plan on paper looked crystal clear,
Yet there's still just a little fear,
Paper and reality are not always the same,
So we regroup start again no one to blame,
Years we do this over and over again,
Some we lose but in many we win,
The plan comes together proud as can be,
Until the charges and deductions we start to see,
There's the license or some kind of permit,
Government wants all they can get,
What would the so called leaders really do,
If we just said "  The Hell With It " for a day or 2,
A country sitting in a stale mate
How long do we think they could really wait,
Neighbor helping neighbor they surely wouldn't get ,
With all they've done to make sure we are split,
Ideas some times take more than a few,
As good as it sounds is it something this country would do?
At the  age where I've lived and seen plenty,
Out of control Government wasting our money,
We are definitely their pot of honey,
While we all work hard busting our ass,
Another crippling bill was quietly passed,
Something others may not really see,
Our freedom is decided by the people in DC,
They are only interested in the rich or sheep,
Control is what they need to keep,
No matter what words they write on each sheet,
There's an exit to make sure those word they never meet, 
Other countries they quickly assist ,
Tax paying Americans are what they all missed,
How much longer should wait to resist
Or do we just put up with all the Bull????
