Audocracy
Hello to all you Americans
out there in the USA.
I’m talking to all my fellow citizens
the ones that were allowed to stay, anyway.
I feel there is no camaraderie
in this nation which we reside.
No union in our Capitol
no loyalty to each other to stand beside.
Our Government states they work for us
why then do all we see
Is a split right from the very top of it all
starting with Republican or Democracy?
Shouldn’t we truly be a union
as it states in our great saying?
Instead of fighting among ourselves
on things like when and where should we be praying?
I don’t understand our Government
so maybe I shouldn’t even speak.
Maybe I don’t see the whole picture
and to say anything alone would seem so weak.
One leader works hard to make a change
so worthwhile at the time it seems.
And the next candidate tells how he’ll do
everything possible to fulfill our dreams.
Wouldn’t it be simpler and better for all
for one to continue where the other left off?
Instead of spending all that money
showing the people at what they can scoff?
Greed and glory are dangerous things
too powerful for ones own good.
Too easy a plan that was intended
today people have misunderstood.
Treat others as you would treat yourself,
a simple notion that could mean peace.
But no one sees the value in this
and until we do this chaos won’t cease.
