Out of control rant - “Dear Mr. President”
I have had enough of this fucking war and the death and hate. I love this country and am as patriotic as they come, but it’s not okay anymore to send our children, wives, mothers, lovers, husband, and fathers off to die. It’s not okay, dammit. How do we fix this mess? How?

Pink (featuring the Indigo Girls)Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let’s pretend we’re just two people and
You’re not better than me
I’d like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestlyWhat do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proudHow do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me whyDear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We’re not dumb and we’re not blind
They’re all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hellWhat kind of father would take his own daughter’s rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You’ve come a long way from whiskey and cocaineHow do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eyeLet me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don’t know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
OhHow do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You’d never take a walk with me
Would you

I am with you on the war. We have lost Marine dads in my neighborhood. They are forgotten and the kids don’t understand why.
This must become the USA anthem till we take our country back from this Neoconcervative group of men who control this country. RIGHT ON PINK!!
You re the best—
