Yet Another Poem To Put Most of You To Shame By Free Cee

DON’T PUSH EITHER BUSH (SPEAKING ABOUT THEMSELVES) Every ghost knows I am not that strong Only SOULS IN THE know KNOW I AM USUALLY wrong Every predecessor knows that I am too weak And yet everyone listens whenever I speak No one knows how I feel when I awake As if every bone in my body yearns to simultaneously break The days hurt my body, the night hurts my mind Because if the truth be known it’s the blind leading the blind I see millions of faces who depend on me and what I do While Mrs. Jones weeps at her table as does Mr. Jones too Junior Jones fought, he bled, and too many others are dead While states are separated so some are blue and some are red They hold sticks in front of me that send my voice across the sea They hold press conferences, press releases but the pressures are just for me Atlas has a lot in common with the weight which we both share And the news media is all over me even when I cut my hair Millions are called upon to serve their country well What they don’t know is I’m damned and this is worse than going to Hell For lies are my agenda with red flags which no one ever sees And it’s a heavy load to know that lives are the cost of my decrees I stare out a window to see a homeless elderly widow While every day takes wit but only produces withering woe The planes, the helicopters and the bombs they tote along And as I said no one knows the fact that I am not that strong So these are the facts which we’ve established thus far Some want all out war while some only want to spar I cry and lie, cheat and betray every single resident And that’s why I should never have been elected president © 2011.….Poefree ~free cee!~
