A HELPING HAND

A HELPING HAND

Where have all the good men gone?

What happened to our land?

The pride and strength we once displayed,

Has vanished from our plan.

We, as a nation, have completely changed,

We try to buy friends, if we can.

But it does not work that way,

Therefore, we need a different plan.

Our politicians have sold us out,

Their aim for power and gain;

Has reached a fever pitch,

And what they do is insane.

Pay people to do nothing

Has never helped a man.

You put him into slavery,

And he remains in your plan.

I know people have situations,

That sometimes may require help.

But when you encourage it as a way of life,

That person becomes inept.

We have enslaved our people,

And people of other lands.

With our plan of giving,

Rather than giving a helping hand.
