Disaster strikes a world away
We get the call, what do we say?
We move at once, to ease their plight,
To aid them through their darkest night.
But come shrill cries from carping Press,
Thats not enough to fix this mess.
We know that, fools, but give us room,
To counter Mother Natures doom.
America gives to those in need,
With no regard to faith or creed.
Were there for all when need is great
A helping hand to any state,
Thats fallen under Natures wrath
And needs a lift back to the path.
So what they may have mocked our ways?
Well turn our cheek til better days.
But there are those who hate us so,
Theyll carp and snipe and hit us low,
Wholl bend disaster to their needs,
And try to choke us on our deeds.
Theyll play their dirty liberal tricks,
For them its only politics.
In the face of massive human pain,
They only think of their own gain.
But the world knows sure whom it must call,
When disaster strikes, when nations fall.
America is the beaming light
That fades, dispels disasters night,
And standing firm provides relief
To salve the pain, allay the grief.
So to Hell with what our critics say,
Americas fine, still leads the way.

Good poem ...
We need another one we can sing to the tune of "Ghost Busters"!
But that one would probably be r-rated! ;>)
