I support Our Nation

The world has changed
Nothing will ever be the same,
There are people dying
And mothers crying,
Where did we go wrong,
Where has the love gone?
No one cares about anything anymore
About how things are,
Would things be the same if bush hadn't beat gore?
What about 9-11?
Have you forgotten
What happened that day?
We didn't all change
Some teenagers still don't understand
Will that ever change?
They talk about our future
About what is best
But do they really care?
Just give it a rest
Bush says he loves us
Every single one
But how can he love us
When he doesn't know what we've done
When he doesn't know what we know
They don't think we understand
Don't think that we can
But they are wrong - oh so wrong
I may have been lost
I may have been gone
Now that I'm back
Ive seen the old times have gone
They say freedom is free
But never will it be
Freedom's cost is the lost of hundred men
A lost youth trying to find its way
A lose of love, never found
A gain of hate, thrown to the ground
We're not fighting
But we should support
Peoples lives are gone
So we can be free
Is that wrong?
Have you thought about that?
Yeah i don't know who's running for office
And i don't know who's our government
But one thing i know
And think you should know too
Is I'll always Support Our Nation

Author notes

i choose government / war

these are the reasons why i wrote it...:
im so tired of adults telling me to get up with the times and that i should do this and do that and do this and do that, im tired of being lectured about the government, and how i should understand and know who is running and why and for what, i mean yes i watch the news, and i dont understand it all, and yes i should be doing alot more, but some of it, i jsut dont think im ready for it, i mean they are telling us that we should do things right now, when there are things that we should do first, to make us ready for the outcomes of what were getting ourselves into, i mean we are only trying ot make it one day at time, we are trying to get through our teenage lives, alive.... and its hard enough with homework, and gossip, and this and that, without throwing inot the loop the government, yes i will get up on the times, ill get up on them slowly, but ill get there, but let me get there on my own times, i wont fall behind, ill be right there with everyone else, but ill get there on my time, on my own, and thats that, stop lecturing me.
