                    Can we tell the truth from a lie?


















 The cost of the Police actions in the Middle East worth the stealing from education?

These numbers are fact. We need to think before we vote and accept poor leadership. Many questions can be born if we think. Number one question.
Who and why are we in the Middle East? Is war declared?
Do we have we a Army or a Police action type military?
Why are we spending one trillion on war?
Do you know that does not count the V.A Hospital cost of almost 400 billion
for Soldiers wounded?
Why are there 40 million people on food stamps?
Why have 20 million men and woman who gave up?

                         Can we tell the truth from a lie?

Poor men and woman at work.
Hours cut from 40 hours to 28.
Big boss tell them.
"Nothing we can do.
You can get unemployment and welfare."
They walk out with tears and not understanding.
They work hard and what did they get.
Nothing from big business!

A Mama asked me to watch her daughter. My daughter best friend.
She lost her home and have no job.
My door is open for the girl and mother too.
No children or person should be homeless and alone.

Obama spend almost three million for a field trip to England.
3 million dollars can buy some bread and meat for the soup in a lot of soup kitchens.

1.1 billion dollar for House of Representatives to live on. $2.3 for each man and woman for food and office. Michigan will pay $41.4 million for out 18 people to eat like pigs and live like kings. 41.4 million could help many people.

I must steal a Neil Young line. "Come a time when we ain't blind." Pass a bill to cut the pension of Senators and House representative Federal and State.  You would be amazed how much money we pay for the people in-charge. Retired and active.

"Poor babies don't you cry.
Mama will make you some food.
40 million people on food stamp.
Obama say we are fine.
We will eat our bread and peanut butter.
Be glad.
Tomorrow can't get worst?"

The wave of anger must start.
A man or woman who wait for miracles.
Will died wishing he stood tall and fought for the right things.
Better to be part of life.
Then be forgotten like the middle and lower income class.


I don't know what can be done?
I tell you young and bright children.
Better fight for your rights to be free.
Best fight for the protection of the natural resources.
Best not allow corporations and big business to control your world.

Time is short.
Time to raise hell.
 It is time to stand together.
Many easy answers.

Less government.
No pensions for retire Senators and House representatives.
Big business must be held accounted for downsizing for sake of profit only.
Rich people and big business must pay taxes.
No more huge expense accounts for our so-call leaders.

"Come on children gather around.
I will tell you a story of liar and thieves.
One day the people got tire and demanded change.
The liars create ghosts and war to make the simple mind forget.
They may lose their home and their life.
But the people waited too long.
There was nothing left for them.
I wonder my children?
Is it too late to scream, demonstrate and write/e-mail the leaders.
Tell them.
We are tire.
We want a better ending for the people of the USA and the world.

Author's Note

I apology for my wild and crazy thoughts. I get so tire of hearing of Obama taking a boatload of people to England. How many people are homeless outside the safety of the White house? 40 million men and woman on welfare. One in five people are desperate. Time for logical men with wisdom of what it true and what is a lie. A beat dog can rise up and bite your ass if you are not careful.

Not as crazy as you might think, Coyote. This is a good write. I actually heard that 60% of FY 2011 federal budget is going to entitlement programs such Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, and the 19% of the budget is on defense. Either way you slice it, our debt will be so massive, it will take 30,000 years to pay back.

[KAREN]

Excellent write! I agree with everything you wrote, so don't be sorry!

[Suzy Q]

Don't even get me started on government and politics. It makes no sense. But a great poem expressing all these lies and just remember that it won't change over night, so just take it day by day.

[dreaming dame]

Way to state the truth. It's unbelievable how many people are in financial trouble. To spend such an escessive amount of money is considered bad stewardship. Something I was taught at the age of twelve. Loved the poem

[Awdures]

Absolutely mind blowing isn't it? I think half of the poloticking that goes on is the poloticians trying to pull the wool over their own eyes, bloody hell, I often wonder how much they actually keep from us. We don't know the half of it, maybe that's a good thing, but I was taught it's always better to be informed!

[Jenny Nelson]

Sad state of affairs, and we'd better quickly learn to discern the truth from all the lies or it's done. We're on the edge. Excellent post.

[brenda]

wow !!!! ok nice poem and original and helps me be aware of the fact that the economy is low nice job !and unfairness being committed really he went to england !?

[trainwreck]

This was both well written and intelligent! its never too late to say something. Go for it. See what happens.

[Tina Kline]

Sad state of world affairs. People don't really matter anymore. It's all about power, control and how much money they can take from the people for their own agenda. Its the peoples money let them decide what to spend it on by voting. You did a great job on this.

[emmajoy]

The same sort of things could be said of most countries going through what's a hideous global recession and only few privileged human beings walking this earth are actually keeping their heads above water.
Not only are our ELECTED politicians to blame but the money men, the bankers, the ones manipulating the purse strings, the men who think they know how to make a buck for themselves but can fiddle with the resources that rightfully belong to the man on the street. And in the meantime, health, education, social, care for the elderly, etc. etc. is being run down to their bare bones .. cutbacks everywhere, anywhere, and we're told: it'll be the survival of the fittest.
Maybe the fittest are the ones content with little else but simple lives and little or no desire for anything else. Keeping up with the Joneses eventually catches up with folk in and out of government.
As you say however, John, '.. a beat dog can rise up and bite your a*s if you are not careful .. ' But, what then, anarchy, decay and little or no hope for any of us ?
This post is incredibly thought provoking (no other way to describe it - sorry, hackneyed words)

Your American system is very very different to our system in Australia, ours is very Welfare focused, still has major problems dont get me wrong
