I found myself depressed today, from things I saw along my way
Broken Veterans, tattered clothes, who live in tents, and call them homes
Jobless, homeless, full of fear, with numbers rising every year
Not lazy, wino, or there by choice, but victimed, forgotten, by political voice

How can our government say they care, with sites this common everywhere?
They bail out banks, and foreign power, with soldiers dying every hour
Defending freedom (or so we're told), or is it for more corporate gold
Must our children fight and die? It's time we start to question, "Why?"

How can they know our nations need, consumed by power, wealth and greed
Just talking points for them to use, while freedom and liberty they abuse
Voting laws they've never read, because some generous lobbyist said
In favor for some big donation, to help them run for re-election

What's happened to our once great nation? We the people? Where's our ration?
Where's our freedom? Where's our right? Where's the justice for our plight?
Why's the war machine so grand? Where's prosperity in our land?
Where's the happiness we once knew? Why is it limited to so few?

War and terror! Wall Street greed! This will help our nations need?
Taxes high, debt keeps climbing, seems to me that someone's lying!
These politicians wants our vote, while bankers want to take our home
The corporations want our money, I've had enough! This isn't funny!

Thru open eyes I see the light, know the reasons for our plight
I vote against the corporation...... in favor of our still great nation!
I vote an end to banker greed...... in favor of our nations need
I vote for justice, truth.... and might, a special vote for veterans rights!
VOTE RON PAUL 2012

have missed you.
