I WEEP

As I look at my 5 grandchildren,

I wonder how to keep them from harm,

I hold them close and lovingly,

My sweet little babes in arms…

The world is a difficult place,

With terrorism always a threat,

Big bailouts to save business failures,

Taxes for generations hard to forget….

Defending our freedom,

Our troops are all over the map,

Monotonous rhetoric from our politicians,

Is just a diversion to entrap…

They try to take US away,

From the major problems at hand,

A government that is growing too large,

We must finally take a stand…

There is no bi-partisan agreement,

Just disagreement from both sides,

Corruption is rampant throughout,

And seems to be on the rise…

When will our politicians realize,

What they are doing is all wrong,

To the future of our great country,

How much more can this be prolonged…

I weep for my grandchildren and country,

Is there any real way out…

From the disagreement and corruption,

My tears are from inside and out…
