Fighting For The Children Poem by Andy Caldwell

Fighting For The Children



I am proud to be an American
proud to be a native born son
with roots that go back in history
they begin with an European ancestry
but generations were borne here
and it is this country that I love
but it's government I am not sure of
Washington doesn't seem to get'er done
all the special interest and corruption
lobbyist messaging congress's erection
and diverting everyone's attention
from that massacre of children
with thoughtful real resolution
We need realistic legislation 
to protect our precious children
We need stop those public shootings
yet our congress does nothing
except their mindless masturbating
So congress we are waiting.... Get'er done

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this after a gunman shot the children in school. What have our lawmakers really done to stop the next one? We need meaningful legislation to control the people who commit crimes like these.
