I'm slowly creating a portfolio here of songs that I have penned. I aim for songs that capture a true moment, an image, a sentiment, or a certain time, place, and feel that evoke the universal experience with an original vision.

# 4 God, Country, Family?
God, Country, or Family?
choose one out of three
put your gun where you mouth is
now what will it be?
war is upon us
using either or all three
with just one God
for all who pray
does he ever hear
what our enemies say?
does he split our loyalties
on fair market value
for skin, religion, culture, what have you?
or turn a deaf ear
to the enemy's prayer?
with country i don't get to reason why
i'm only asked to do or die
go police the world for democracy
says a bundle of lies and hypocrisy
i do unto others as they do unto me
is it really God's country
striking preemptively?
aren't God and country to protect me?
with family it's not a choice really
what good is victory if i can't share with kin?
what good is freedom when i'm left free with no one?
i'll die for my country for true sanctity
not to run the universe or an SUV
dissent and discourse are part of the carnage
one of the many in collateral damage
with hundreds coming home in body bags
can't sweep it all under the glorious flag
red is for the blood that's shed
white is for the lies i dread
blue is for the way i feel
when will it end?
how do i heal?
