To the men and women who care

only for themselves and the state

of their bank accounts

Who make the incredible sacrifice

to manipulate stories in honor

of favor to personal agenda

The path is lined with roses

for our dear countrymen

who choose to save us

by sending us to space,

funding billions instead

of feeding millions

Personal glory and gain

never looked so heroic

than it does today

This is an ode to sacrifices

made for the few—the country

of red, white, and blue
