Maybe to Washington it's  not clear!

Maybe to Washington it's not clear!

A Poem by unclecharlie

For 3 days I've moved very lazy and slow

Plenty to do but no motivation to go

Playing games reading the topics that around the world can be seen

Listening to the News wondering what it all could mean

Hearing about the rich that want to give more

They would be better off just handing some out to the poor

Then men prisoned for life or many years to come

Sent to war and told what needed to be done

To start the fight they didn't have a choice

No one ever asked to hear anyone's  voice

Many people may not understand

To Follow order they swore and raised their hand

Some may not have that sort of luck

But once they return in limbo they could easily get stuck

I believe for all that each one of them do

They deserve something from me and you

That should come from the money that each week we donate

Because of them we all have a life supposedly top rate

Not really sure how we could all be heard

But some how the white House needs to get the word

These people left their family kids and maybe a wife

Into battle each one ready to give up their life

Maybe In Washington it just isn't clear

That with out those brave Soldier's our freedoms wouldn't be here!
