Frankly, Nobody Cares...

The aging parent
Stares at the wall,
Quite lonely in his house,
His children never call,
Gone is his spouse,
His eyes are weak,
He cannot drive his car,
And with his walker,
He just can't travel far,
His small Social Security
Won't pay his bills,
And thinking of the future?
He gets the chills,
But how about
Good old Uncle Sam?
He does not care,
He's busy in Iraq, Iran,
And for the poor?
Frankly, Republicans
Don't give a damn.
