POLITICAL POWERS
by Dianne Rierson
What have I got to offer you
But a promise every day.
That I will strive to bring you home
In every sort of way.

I wrote to our President
And our Governor I wrote to.
But the letters that I just received
Said "we're doing all that we can do."

Excuse me Mr. President & Honorable Governor too
If this was your child missing now
You'd have a plan to get him home
And would you want to tell us how?

Would you send out a search team
With instructions just from you.
That your child was to be brought home
Is that what you would do?

Or would you just forget him
And say that he's now gone.
Or would you have the nerve to say
It's time they all came home.

Many mothers, brothers, and sisters
All together feel this way.
But they don't have the political pull
To say what you can say.

And so I ask you for a gift
For every know MIA
Put your political pull in action
And bring them home today.
