To the American President

send me your shoe size, don't be hesitant.

I see you on the t.v all the time

bet none of your relatives are on the front line.

You brag about all of the progress

From the saftey of your office.

I'd just like to ask you how come

you're not toting the same gun

carried by others daughters, fathers, wives and sons???

While you're sleeping beside your wife

others are doing their boots up tight

fighting  - to protect your rights.

Each tombstone / means an empty home.

And what size army boots do you wear

send your shoe size I'll buy you a pair.

No one

wants to bury a loved one.
