That I am not, but I did sign my treaty&lt;br /&gt;Well yes, here is the truth…I’m hungry&lt;br /&gt;Kids hungry, glossy eyes look at you and say “I need help”&lt;br /&gt;Okay I’ll sign, “When do I get help”&lt;br /&gt;That’s my story, Help to feed the seeds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not patriotism, college money or tradition, just need&lt;br /&gt;To take some time to make a dime and not for greed&lt;br /&gt;Tired of being out there, so I hid behind the flag&lt;br /&gt;Pride swallowed, Hey flag! P.S. need help, gonna gag&lt;br /&gt;On mac-n-cheese, I’m not a whiner or a griper &lt;br /&gt;But I heard one say, these food stamps don’t buy diapers&lt;br /&gt;Baby, she’s going to be proud of me! For the Birds…&lt;br /&gt;She would be the same if you listened to her words&lt;br /&gt;And drink her empty dollar store cups&lt;br /&gt;Oh your daddy loves you, but I got to go pop&lt;br /&gt;Some heat off in the name of freedom&lt;br /&gt;For the Birds! Freedom! Freedom? Is in rare form&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s died for it, not us clones&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were heroes, Tuskegee, The Cherokee, The North&lt;br /&gt;Freedom they cried as they died, we just move forth&lt;br /&gt;In the name of what? Don’t make me say it&lt;br /&gt;I will, my twins go and spray it then lay it&lt;br /&gt;On the line, for what? For freedom to ring&lt;br /&gt;For the kings to buy and sell expensive things &lt;br /&gt;All I see is the Emancipated boy that carries his toy&lt;br /&gt;Like he is on top of the world, when heat deploys&lt;br /&gt;That same boy reverts to asking for momma&lt;br /&gt;I have never asked for mine but the drama&lt;br /&gt;Will make me one day, never knowing when to ask for her&lt;br /&gt;Flip it, they have said goodbye to theirs, and looking for her&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I see is hurt wives and jilted men find comfort in each stare&lt;br /&gt;Faith and vows were checked at the Airport, and a care there&lt;br /&gt;Would leave you bare so the package comes with care&lt;br /&gt;Fragile is the one who opens up the letters and reads the wear&lt;br /&gt;This career, huh…career, has left on them to bare&lt;br /&gt;I try to hold them down, but fear is stronger than flare&lt;br /&gt;“Act like you have done this before“, at night you show your cards&lt;br /&gt;And read them low, so no one knows how your love did blow the barge&lt;br /&gt;For the birds! We signed it, now survive it&lt;br /&gt;Please pray for those who have not passed yet, but&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It don’t matter to me, pray for my son, hoping he don’t&lt;br /&gt;Stray and spray someone because of missing me, I won’t&lt;br /&gt;Need it, pray for my girls and hope they learn self respect&lt;br /&gt;And their mother shows them how to stand alone and let&lt;br /&gt;It slide and walk away, Do not pray for me&lt;br /&gt;Pray for my Bride, hope that she can find love once more and frees&lt;br /&gt;Herself of the loneliness, anger and remorse&lt;br /&gt;This pen will tell her how I am doing, but force&lt;br /&gt;Her to see this, so she knows how I am&lt;br /&gt;Baby I am fine, Love you, take care of them&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we real patriots fighting for this?&lt;br /&gt;No fighting for something, some just don’t know what it is&lt;br /&gt;A request before they put me in that distant hole&lt;br /&gt;I want my box draped with Verde, Blanco y Rojo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5025457325982436081-5292724457411205392?l=thegoodman09.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
