When I was little
I lived with Grandpa Jack
He used to go to his friends
We would walk down the streets
To street cafes
Where his cronies from the war
Would elaborate about life
About the French Resistance
About the Communists takeover
How Russia was a friend
Who could be trusted
Then the war was over
And Germany was all anyone
Talked about those fascists
Who took them hostage
And shorted teh life of everyone
They had to have thier country rebuilt
Because they would not stop
Bombing London
They were bombed
Til there was nothing left
It is almost as if they allowed it
Just to be rebuilt by America
Imagine poor Winston Churchills
Escape from London during the Bliztes
To be smuggled into America
To secretly speak to an informal congress
I bet he had to go the long way
Maybe a submarine trip
And ice-cold twin-engine plane
In the artic to get a Potomac
Boat trip, no Ritz nor Blair House
No Air Force fighter jet escort
All because they believed
The free world worth saving
Against the evil-minded Nazis
Where would we be today
If he had not come?
England and France would have fallen
Even Russia and its satellites
Were threatened by the three axis powers
Italy acts as if they never did any harm
And Japan is our best friend now
While China became our enemy
And Russia was throw over
For the Marshall plan
All those poor Germans
Who just wanted to come to America
To be free!
You notice they did not go home.
When the Berlin wall fell!
My grandfather's friends
Were great lecturers
Traveled the world
And pledge allegiance
To the freedom of all people
I wonder what happened to them.
After he died suddenly
In my kitchen while I was at work
They all seemed to have vanished.
Survival skills
Disappear when threatened
Surface when it is safe.
The fireside chat
Was made immemorable
By Roosevelt chained to a wheelchair
He brought the country back to its feet
Kept us from hunger and war
Then sent the men off to fight
For the freedom of the world
Only his voice kept us all from harm
And his fire light for those such as
Churchill who would not give up.
Now we have a special situation
They smuggled Zelensky
Out through the front lines
To a train to Poland
And then an escorted flight
They even attempted to make sure
There were no nasty submarines
Waiting to shoot him out of the air.
Only to be received by the President
And given the keys to Blair House
A fireside chat with the leading man
And then off to Capital hill
Where he got a heroes welcome
All because his country now needs
To be rebuilt after the fighting is over
And he wants his to understand
That he is not accepting hand outs
But investments!
No pay back is coming to America.
We are investing in a freedom loving
Country who would not hold hostage
Another group at all.
He sent millions of people
Out of his country
With no place to live
Nor any home to return.
He threatened the Port of Sebastopol
Cutting off Russia's access to the Black Sea
And their oil export business
By denying them the right to use
Thier own naval base
Or the sea they need
As a land locked country
On the West at least
He was once just a nobody
Who did get to the Oval office
To sit in a suit and discuss
Life with an unexpected win
He got welcomed
And escorted nowhere
He did not need to go
He was the wonder boy
Who had gotten elected
President with not credentials
To a country who had been
Allowed its freedom by
Mother Russia
And then what?
He looked good in a suit.
His wife and him had children
He was just one of many leaders
At the G summits
And nothing
He had no value
Until he picked a fight
And got a response
They wanted to get rid
Of Putin who had assumed
Too much power
Even letting Hillary down
Not allowing her to occupy
The oval office.
Or so they say in the news
I was once a news reporter
It is odd watching them all chat
And pick apart one thing
Day after day
The same thing
While we are getting ready
To hang a President
For not believing in anything
But Democracy in action.
He did not hold a gun
To someone's head or anything.
But there it is
America is fickle
They have passed a new
Spending bill in the trillions
Just to get back what?
A country that is not worth much
Donetsk has not real value
Now that it is no longer
An industry country
Are there any farmers left?
Almost everyone are computer hackers
Or something sophisticated
Not oil men nor pig farmers
Wheat is expensive isnt it?
Where are we going with this
At Christmas time again.
They left the pine swag on the mantel
But removed the Christmas decorations
Out of respect for his Religioun
Never intolerant of anyones religion.
I do hope he knows what he is doing.
Because America is not nice
When it is betrayed
And traitors are never tolerated.
No longer in a suit
But his military greens
And boots.
One thinks they are seeing a MASH
Actor relieving his glory days.
An investment in what future?
Germany never repaid their loans
Nor did they go home when it was safe
Instead, they are stealing our Social Security
For their retirement in Mexico
While the rest of us wait
For our Stipend to come through
Having lost our homes
To over taxation when we had them
Accountants only remember bills
Owed not paid.
Property Managers come in
And steal property
That is not theirs
In order to make
Work for those who have no means
OF an income excpet
To build what no one will live in
Nor be employed for very long.
Life flows through time
But it returns to the same
Over and over again.
We America are fighting
For the free world.
Everyone knows there
Is no way of winning
A nuclear war
And yet ....
We all hope
That someone else
Will take command of
All those war heads
And point them somewhere else
Where else do you want them?
Who do you trust
To replace Putin?
And why now after
All the peaceful talks?
The price of gas is going to go up
Or the amount of taxes
All those Germans sponging
Will be outraged when they have
To pay the interest on their loans.
Who is this guy
No one wanted?
Now given a better welcome
Then Churchill?
Trust in our President
To know whom to invite in
And when to call it quits.
Best wishes to no assinations
On either side or we might not
Wake up one morning
Because there will be no more mornings.
Rest in peace Winston.
Vive la France!
Where is Jimmy?
One can almost see him
Brokering this deal
With his dream of being
A superhero
By causing chaos
Allowing himself to be privy
To all the important discussions.
Let's not burn our bridges
Too soon Joe
After all you have a
Few kids named after you.
Not "toppling a foreign nation"
Is all Democracy and America
Have left to be proud.
Besides we might actually need
The other guy someday.
