Losing Integrity

The war on terrorism has been fought for over 6 years now and still no end in view. It all started under doubtful circumstances and now these reasons are even more obscured. Meanwhile thousands of lives have been lost and are still in arms ways. When the General Petraeus reported on the recent happens in Iraq, he was renamed by MovingOn.com as General Betray Us.

 

Losing Integrity

 

Politics and war and terrorist activity

Each bring about our declining integrity

The thousands of young people who are now dying

Result in even more people back home crying

And their lives are lost then justified

Encouraged by leaders who we’ve glorified

United States are separating on war policy

Seems more than half think it’s a travesty

But turning back is hard and war will prevail

Elected officials got the terrorist lion by the tail

The purpose of this battle now puzzles me

Retaliation because of the 911 tragedy

And now 130 thousand lives have been displaced

Young men and women’s integrity misplaced

United by a cause of enforcing morality

Separated by the doubts of their leaders honesty
