Election lies: a poem
I’d like to say a word about things that I see
It’s so damned insane, is it you or is it me
And I’d like there to be answers and we all hear what’s said
By leaders high above with hearts cold and eyes dead
With too many lies and crap we’ve been fed
We’re guided by ideals so ancient and old
All twisted by men, we’ve all been bought and sold
We’ve got to find new visions for our world of today
With no special treatment, the old boys can’t play
The election game comes and they scream for your votes
All pointing and blaming, at each other’s throats
And all our concerns are put on the shelf
While they chase their own dreams of power and wealth
Don’t believe the lies they’re just in it for themselves
And with every ballot you cast you say
I’m trained and controlled and conditioned to play
And it doesn’t matter who gets win, place or show
A rotten foundation will let nothing good grow
It’s time to be responsible, it’s time to say “NO”
