than protecting the rich, filling their pockets with more

      When the Republican President told the world he protects the rich

      We should have all run rather than be buried in a financial ditch

      All the government had to do was control the greed

      Focus on the future limiting the profits corporations need

      Now we have an employment crisis created by unbalanced greed

      Too many have taken too much, forgetting the next generation’s seed

      Thank goodness a responsible President is at the command

      He cares for the civilian who faces the crisis politicians have planned

      Facing the challenges of creating jobs without killing

      Trying to pay down the country debt’s that is over spilling

      Trying to restore the prosperity and freedom of the little man

      Fighting more Republican propaganda wherever he can

      Mending the country’s reputation around the world

      Trying to convince others not to remember the death that whirled

      As a people we need to rise up for the changes we want to see

      Creating prosperity without death while living free

      Making friends with the world, ending the suicide attacks

      We need to run the country by covering each other’s backs

      Doing what we can to help our fellow man

      Building plans of peace whenever we can

      Holding and keeping the ones we love should be our plan

      Long live this President to stay in power as long as he can

      The Morning Sky Fills My Mind With Pain And Love

      My heart fills with love as I watch the sunrise in the sky

      Listening to the winds of change and watching the birds fly

      On this summer day the colors of the sky are beautiful up high

      The blues and yellows creating orange fill my one eye

      The patch on the other eye due to shrapnel in the war

      This feels so good being home without killing to settle a score

      My family is happy I am home from the war

      Now I can catch up on love and settle my family’s score

      My special boy is four and my little girl is seven

      In Iraq we sent so many just like them into heaven

      We are so lucky not to be invaded in our land

      Every moment at home I treasure with my family as I planned

      Being away for so long has changed me inside

      I no longer feel a deep sense of pride

      After all the killing and hearing the politicians that lied

      I no longer know why I killed or why so many civilians died

      Sending them to meet Allah in the sky

      Filling my heart with pain watching little children cry

      Then I think of my children and I too want to cry

      I think of holding them tightly, hoping they will never die

      These are special moments filled with silence and love

      Reflecting on my family and praying to my faith above

      Every day I ask my faith to forgive me for those I have killed

      Remembering all the brutal pain I created and blood I have spilled

      When I sleep at night my mind starts to race

      Screaming children appear in my mind from no place

      Then the thoughts leave my mind without a trace

      Seeing so many die haunts me and my mind continues to race

      I feel my wife put her arms around me

      She enjoys watching the sunrise feeling free

      Knowing I am home safe set her mind free

      She was locked in a worry prison waiting for me

      My wife knows I have changed into a different man

      I am much more serious and used to always having a plan

      Gone is the innocence I had when I first went to war

      Now I need to find myself and forget killing to settle a score

      I feel so guilty inside know I have killed over lies

      We found no weapons of mass destruction, only civilizations' cries

      So many civilians caught in the bombing from the skies

      I cannot forget seeing the dead bodies covered in flies

      Images burned into my brain still bother me today

      I have to relearn how to have fun and learn how to play

      So much has changed in me deep in my mind

      Spending time with my family, feeling love if I unwind

      Things I took for granted are no longer in my mind

      My thoughts are covered in body bags and death is what I find

      I am so happy to be home and away from that hellhole

      Patrolling the desert has crippled me and taken its toll

      I hear my children laughing as they come near

      My habits of looking for a sniper are still here

      Protecting the ones I hold dear and love

      Trying to make peace in my mind with heaven above

      I hold my wife and children close as tears fill my eyes

      I want to love them and forget about the war or political lies

      Forget about those who died and cried fighting in the war

      Try to find my soul again and live my life once more
