The Game of Politics

The clear skies turned to black With the simple turn of your back Your laughing turn to weeping Because of the alleged reaping The government has taken over Who would've though this would never become sober. We cry and pray But they wont tell us anything anyway. They hide them selves behind the doors All because they know they wont score. Who is going to b the one to knock down the door Get rid of the barrier Who knows, will things get scarier? All these times where we beg and plead We just end up face first on your knees. They kick us to death With a single breath They don't care because they are in the head chair! They never have voted for the common good Even though they should! They cheat us out with a flick of a pen Treating us like a scrap of tin. They never cared they, never will They treat us like bobble heads and put us on the window sill. If our government has came to this We will go into a deep abyss.

I don't either, I am antigovernment. I believe I can not trust them what so ever. As the U.S.A we are supposed to me a model democracy, but I believe we are turning into a monarchy and dictatorship. One day, I wish I could send this to congress so they know how the people feel.
