- I Bought Something, I Did Not Want Today
- Something I can Not afford to pay
- But I was told, I bought it any way
- I have been laid off 4 times
- the mortgage, bills, debts, I fall behind
- my children would not eat well
- if it were not for food-stamps
- and I still have to pay child support
- and eldest just made me a Gramps
- but my Government,
- more specifically, my President
- informed me, I just bought another war today
- with more, guaranteed, on the way
- every new job is a cut in pay
- but more war, more of the same
- I get it, it’s my fault, buying
- into the campaign of Change
- and I do not understand
- why am I buying wars, in foreign Lands
- who have not, with their armies
- attacked my nation, they do not have one
- and how does that improve my situation
- for the President, I have a suggestion
- that He demand Congress to pass Legislation
- that from now own, America will only attack
- Nations capable of fighting back
- that Congress will send their children
- to the front-lines, and these Generals
- will have to actually lead troops into battle
- talking tough, beneath a bunker, is a disgrace
- not being man enough to look your enemy in their face
- these brave decorated men, send young men and women to die
- use their trusting fear to splatter their Blood into the sky
- I wonder, will I buy war for my grand-children
- I’d rather pay for their education
- The President did not ask, just told the Nation
- we are all buying another war, we can not afford
- putting at risk, our room and board
- I tried email, could not connect
- so I sent the President a text
- “I wished President Kennedy were still alive,
- He wanted to destroy this Military Industrial Complex”

- My Niece Was Sitting on My Knee
- Watching rioting on TV
- then She looked up to me
- why are they filled with so much, Hate
- why are they willing to be killed, to do killing
- why are they burning where they Live and Work
- why are they hurting others, if they don’t want to be hurt
- why, why, why lay this burden on me
- why, I stepped back, took a look back
- into my own Living History
- inside of me, asking, answer honestly
- or use the trick of sincerity,
- but this is my Niece, sitting on my knee
- I answered with Honesty
- they are upset, because a promise wasn’t kept
- their happily ever after turned to dust
- because they deceived themselves to trust
- in things they knew weren’t real
- unless you are hungry, no Happy Meal
- unless you are for what you are fighting
- only Deprivation, has you uniting
- with people, if you were well fed,
- you’d care nothing about
- so now they can hide in a crowd
- under an umbrella of shame and shout
- their disappointments out loud
- they are despising, cause they’re realizing
- that Ego High, they welcomed, into their Head
- was phony, false, not a reason to jump in bed
- now feeling like fools
- the people, they were going to step on
- to get the jewels, they face those faces
- in each other eyes, seeing treacherous traces
- they are in those down-trodden places
- their passion en flames and their decency wilts
- they are afire with their own guilt…R.D.Revilo
