what are we waiting for

what you said to me so true I know how sad it          

sounds like we need some faith in the

government runs the show us what they can

do me a favor and don’t put too much faith in a

government that did the same some years

ago just the same story told over and over

involving different characters acting as though they   

are the police of the world intervening here

and there but why don’t they give help

where it is needed and confused a bit something

got lost along the way we cringe at the history of

this country when they stole this land from the

natives, killing, raping, stealing, what they     

want is power over others and what about

them what they want or deserve

reaction ended in war outrage at the

camps though many perished

some fifty years ago a peaceful

spiritual land stolen and everyone watches as the

leader of Tibet is forced into exile, those

with power to make things right do

nothing, what are they waiting for?

no one is going to invite the president

to play golf with chairman mao he is dead

mr. president

can’t you do anything to free a people

who are losing their culture their heritage their land

their freedom

what are we waiting for?

war is not the answer

we have intervened over less in the

past the only reason that our country is not

lending it’s hand is because there is nothing

           

in it for them and this saddens me

what are we waiting for?…
