'Where Are Your Priorities? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

Now I've been helping you out with money!
I've been giving you my food and time!
You acted like you had so many bills to pay!
and hadn't any money, had to pay things on time!

Now I see that you've bought a toy this week!
For your own, 'Home Land Security? '
But an assault rifle? What were you thinking?
Where are your priorities?

Now when you have no food to eat friend!
or no where to lay your head!
Is that Assault rifle going to fill your belly?
with some hot sauce on two slices of stale old bread?

What in God's name were you thinking?
When I've been putting myself out for you?
I hope you and your new toy, Mr. Bang, Bang!
Will be the best of priorities made
like the one in my life I once had given you!
