Just Say No

Just Say No Look at the embers The smoldering remnants of a lost world Destroyed by arrogant world leaders Mere children fighting over their toys Arguing over the size of their manhoods How did they let it go so far How could we not say that is enough Did we believe the lies they told us Someone somewhere should have said no Took the children and spanked their bottoms And sent them to their rooms If just one person would have stood up Denied what they were told and thought for themselves Children would be playing kickball in the streets Mothers would be nursing their babies And songs would be sung Instead, look at the embers Think of everything we have lost And someone please…JUST SAY NO

Good one here...a simple world it would be with better discipline. No offense to used car salesmen, but many of our supposed leaders just have more expensive ties, and are good at selling expensive lemons to the ignorant.
