While They Sit Back

Copyright © 10/2011 by W.J. O'Neil

 

While they sit back in their kingdom

And count up all their wealth

Most of us are hungry

And more are in poor health

 

While they sit back in their kingdom

And decide what should be law

Most of us are not aware

They're protected from it all

 

While they sit back in their kingdom

And raise taxes for their fun

Because of all their loopholes

They pay little or pay none

 

While they sit back in their kingdom

And take from all the aged

They say they have the right to

And we've no right to be enraged

 

While they sit back in their kingdom

And live without a care

To them what matters least right now

Are those that put them there

 

While they sit back in their kingdom

And cater to their kind

The debt they put our country in

Is hardly on their mind

 

While they sit back in their kingdom

They refuse to understand

The patriots of this nation

Are preparing for a stand

 

While they sit back in their kingdom

They will see it come to pass

The patriots of this nation

Will unite to kick their ***
