Misplaced Priorities

quote from EDWARD R. MURROW, American Journalist.

We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

MISPLACED PRIORITIES

For our military duty calls

For the citizens liberty falls

In Washington progress stalls

In the divided legislative halls

Our dollars are spent for freedom there

In Afghanistan deadly arms they bear

On tv screens we often stare

At the political rhetoric the liars share

In Afghanistan, boots are on the ground

They receive and fire another round

More good soldiers going down

Leaving grieving families in their hometown

Terrorism is alive and well

No matter what old lies they tell

Social justice they try to sell

And our deficit continues to swell

More soldiers to Afghanistan

Spending months in the burning sand

Political agendas proceed as planned

Taxes rising and arms are banned

The right will fight with no avail

Economy continues to fail

Media bias beyond the pale

Will the left achieve their holy graile?
