Criminals have rights and the victim has none!!!

 The Land Of The Free?  Or Is It A Free For All?

When everything that is yours becomes theirs

The financial burden is hard to bare

They will steal a fountain from your front porch

In the blink of an eye

And breakout your car window to steal your belongings

And away they fly

Shots ring out in the dead of night

No police sirens are heard taking flight

And nobody cares about what is right

The police say their hands are tied

The crimes and the victims are pushed aside

Our government has dropped the ball

And the law abiding citizens are taking the fall

Anymore America is not the land of the free

Our borders are not secure as anyone can see

Food stamps and welfare is free to all; with kids born here

Now,   we all must live in fear

They drive new trucks, suv’s and suburban’s with gas prices sky high

They have bled our government dry

They don’t care because they get free food and room and board

And work as day laborers for their alcohol to afford

So,   is it the Land Of The Free?

Or Is It A Free For All?

Quite true Karen...

Frightening and I fear it
