Sad Tomorrows for Present Day Choices

Are we trading sad tomorrows
in lieu of making hard present day choices?
Listen to the ancestors voices.
Lessons learned in histories pages.
We are still the most powerful and influential nation.
US Army Soldier now stares in the eyes of terrorist faces.
There is nothing new under this Mesopotamian sun.
The same smoke from different guns
while the same blood spills.
Only now take a seat and watch the burning oil fills.
Are we trading sad tomorrows in lieu of making hard present day choices?
Listen to the ancestors voices.
Lessons learned in histories pages.
We are still the Greatest Nation

Responsibility.
