Taunted Democracy
Have we taken the pieces of democracy?
And replaced them in the form of hypocrisy
Please have the dignity to not look away
We know that you carefully think of what to say
You took controversy and made it into an attack
You called it terror but we call it a reason to come back
Trenches filled with American souls that have deprived
Children of parents, who ask why haven’t mom or dad arrived
Mr. President, take a minute to look at this bold mistake
Will you tell me truthfully that at night you don’t stay awake?
And ask yourself, “How do I bring peace into every heart”
Instead you sit in front of us and say that more should depart
Can it be pure stupidity or has your compassion turned cold
All of your lies and promises in great numbers were sold
This nation was ready to be lead by your commands
Now against you, your country in large numbers stands
Is it right to be in this position or are we unpatriotic
Let me guess your answer will be warm and diplomatic
Or will you tell us that this solution will be affective
Then why have we miserably failed our first objective
Osama is still a threat as he laughs from some cave
Spare the lives of those that will be known as brave
