Rebel!

A scream
To the streets
Rebel! It repeats...
Rebel! Fight for honor
Fight for freedom
Fight for your skin
For your fellow men know your pain
There burden is the same
For they too shed tears
For a government they knows not a single
Name of a soldier
Killed overseas
They weep not for the mother
Who falls to her knees
In prayer to a God up most high
To watch over her son's corpse
Contemplating why he had to die
For the national budget
Cannot repay her loss
Or help those memories regain
A 21 Gun Salute
Does Nothing to ease her pain
A mother joins the streets
Rebel! Rebel!
Send those Senators
to the Pits of Hell
For they are to represent us?
Do what's best for us?
Or what is best for them?
Dear Congressmen...
Can dismiss poverty in this nation as
A mirage
Congressman am I seeing things?
Or is that a Porsche in your garage?
Does the leather interior
Keep you warm on a winter's day
Does the Satellite radio
Make homelessness okay?
For this excuse of a nation
For this democracy gone to hell
You patriots of years gone by
I beg of you, Rebel!

| This is a call and a half. I reserved some stanzas of mine 'cos I thought them a bit extreme. But now I don't. Thanks for putting my mind at ease. |
