When checking our budget or doing our taxes
(two activities that never, ever relax us)
We consider where we are spending our money
and some things on that list are not very funny.
It may be just pennies and to be ignored
or an item that’s meaningful and should be explored
Like the fact that each prisoner at Guantanamo Bay
Costs taxpayers millions each passing day
Do policy makers think we’re all dense?
Because this expenditure makes completely no sense.
How do you like paying for those guys who are jailed
and for a policy that’s not working…one that has failed?
Guantanamo is expensive, and downright destructive
We need to deal with it in a way that’s sensible…constructive
$13 million per person…that is the cost
Consider the money the we all have lost.
