His little girl Sleeping there in their tent Soon to be evicted, on public land Coughing, sick again
We are safe he told her No more attacks from terrorists Our troops were fighting over there to save her over here
Weak, pale, the only warmth from the fire he had built Homeless and no job, but we sent money to the banks So he might have a job soon It will trickle down he hoped
Just wait He told her The doctor will see you soon And you will have some meds
Those same people who forked over their tax money To save her from terror To help him find a job Would soon, he hoped, finally help them
Just wait Someday They will help us Just wait
