                    Can we tell the truth from a lie?


















 The cost of the Police actions in the Middle East worth the stealing from education?

These numbers are fact. We need to think before we vote and accept poor leadership. Many questions can be born if we think. Number one question.
Who and why are we in the Middle East? Is war declared?
Do we have we a Army or a Police action type military?
Why are we spending one trillion on war?
Do you know that does not count the V.A Hospital cost of almost 400 billion
for Soldiers wounded?
Why are there 40 million people on food stamps?
Why have 20 million men and woman who gave up?

                         Can we tell the truth from a lie?

Poor men and woman at work.
Hours cut from 40 hours to 28.
Big boss tell them.
"Nothing we can do.
You can get unemployment and welfare."
They walk out with tears and not understanding.
They work hard and what did they get.
Nothing from big business!

A Mama asked me to watch her daughter. My daughter best friend.
She lost her home and have no job.
My door is open for the girl and mother too.
No children or person should be homeless and alone.

Obama spend almost three million for a field trip to England.
3 million dollars can buy some bread and meat for the soup in a lot of soup kitchens.

1.1 billion dollar for House of Representatives to live on. $2.3 for each man and woman for food and office. Michigan will pay $41.4 million for out 18 people to eat like pigs and live like kings. 41.4 million could help many people.

I must steal a Neil Young line. "Come a time when we ain't blind." Pass a bill to cut the pension of Senators and House representative Federal and State.  You would be amazed how much money we pay for the people in-charge. Retired and active.

"Poor babies don't you cry.
Mama will make you some food.
40 million people on food stamp.
Obama say we are fine.
We will eat our bread and peanut butter.
Be glad.
Tomorrow can't get worst?"

The wave of anger must start.
A man or woman who wait for miracles.
Will died wishing he stood tall and fought for the right things.
Better to be part of life.
Then be forgotten like the middle and lower income class.


I don't know what can be done?
I tell you young and bright children.
Better fight for your rights to be free.
Best fight for the protection of the natural resources.
Best not allow corporations and big business to control your world.

Time is short.
Time to raise hell.
 It is time to stand together.
Many easy answers.

Less government.
No pensions for retire Senators and House representatives.
Big business must be held accounted for downsizing for sake of profit only.
Rich people and big business must pay taxes.
No more huge expense accounts for our so-call leaders.

"Come on children gather around.
I will tell you a story of liar and thieves.
One day the people got tire and demanded change.
The liars create ghosts and war to make the simple mind forget.
They may lose their home and their life.
But the people waited too long.
There was nothing left for them.
I wonder my children?
Is it too late to scream, demonstrate and write/e-mail the leaders.
Tell them.
We are tire.
We want a better ending for the people of the USA and the world.

Author's Note

I apology for my wild and crazy thoughts. I get so tire of hearing of Obama taking a boatload of people to England. How many people are homeless outside the safety of the White house? 40 million men and woman on welfare. One in five people are desperate. Time for logical men with wisdom of what it true and what is a lie. A beat dog can rise up and bite your ass if you are not careful.

Not as crazy as you might think, Coyote. This is a good write. I actually heard that 60% of FY 2011 federal budget is going to entitlement programs such Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, and the 19% of the budget is on defense. Either way you slice it, our debt will be so massive, it will take 30,000 years to pay back.

[Karina Longo]

Wow! I totally love it. This is an outrageous, original piece. It's what I'd call a 'manifesto' - but a real one. It's good to see that some people still are 'angry' enough to write protest poetries, because we need to make it through art. You and Neil Young are so damn right. ;) Amazing work.

[☯]

Interesting and hauntingly scary. A shocking outcome of all that has been done. The cruelty of the world, and the different thoughts we press upon. Nicely written.

[London]

very interesing..nice job!

This is amazing. It's so true. The government is starting to waste our money, soon enough, people are gonna get sick of it and fight for the future of our nation.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Do not apologize! This poem speaks truth! our president it seems loves to take unneeded trips, and spend money that doesn't need to be spent.! He's out there doing something he calles his job, but I call it a mess! Excellent poem

[Star Wolf]

A very sad truth that you write about. I'm thinking and believing American's won't sit back much longer and let those in power continue to destroy our country. I'm sure too that other people in other countries in the Western World and elsewhere are thinking and feeling the same things. Thanks for sharing this Coyote Poetry.

[Jake Staffeld]

I don't know that this is a poem... :P

As far as the numbers go, since the 80's, they've been escalating. What we need is to bring more industry back to America, Raise taxes and penalties on the rich, and downsize the military. Unfortunately, with gridlock in washington, nothing will ever happen.

[Maya Storm]

"Is it too late to scream, demonstrate and write/e-mail the leaders."

YES!!! Why should they care?

Time and time again it's proven that the right and the left heads of government morphs into the same beast. Each person we put into power is just a man like the rest of us. We get power so you use it.

We have high hopes and big dream and think that we can and will change the world for the better if given the chance and then we don't. Not to the satisfaction of all, and just sometimes not at all.

Obama is able to take that trip because we say it's alright. Men being sent to war, by their choice and ours... I live in Canada and have the same issues with our government as you do with yours.

Democracy is just a sophisticated Monarch

Coyote you've got a debate going... I like :)

[Renee]

That opened my eyes to what was really happening. Wow, Great work, but now i'm depressed! Though a liked the poem a lot

[tHe]

Interesting... Nah its pretty damn good... Who could of thought of that?
