Aight, so they say a US jet went down in Iran. A whole damn F-15. You know how much that sh*t cost? Millions, probably billions. And who payin' for it? We is. Taxpayer money goin' straight to the war machine while we over here strugglin' to pay rent and put food on the table.

They sayin' some bridge got bombed or somethin', and Trump, that clown, talkin' 'bout attackin' bridges and power plants. Like we ain't got enough problems right here in the States. He always gotta start somethin' overseas, right? Distraction, man. Gotta keep us focused on that so we don't notice they stealin' from us blind.

This ain't about freedom or democracy. This is 'bout oil, power, and money. The same old story. They sendin' our young brothas and sistas over there to fight for some BS cause, riskin' they lives for corporations and politicians who don't give a damn about 'em.

And what happens when they come back? PTSD, no jobs, no healthcare. Left to rot while the rich get richer. Nah, son. This ain't right. This system is rigged, and it ain't workin' for us.

The news sayin' it's a 'breaking story' and they doin' a 'search'. Search fo' what? The pilot? The plane parts? They ain't bringin' that jet back, and that pilot probably lookin' like Swiss cheese right now. It's a waste of time, a waste of money, and a waste of lives.

We need to be focusin' on our own communities. Fixin' our schools, creatin' jobs, and takin' care of our people. Stop sendin' money overseas to blow up other folks' countries. We got enough problems right here at home.

I'm tellin' you, this whole thing stink. From the bombing to the down jet to the politicians makin' promises they ain't gonna keep. They playin' us, man. Gotta wake up and see what's really goin' on.

Peace.

Keep it 100.

No cap.

For real.
