I Cannot Follow

Many things in life I cannot follow. Much like a pill that is hard to swallow. I wander how people can be such sheep? It seems like the world has fallen asleep. I can’t do something I cannot believe. It’s no magic no tricks up my sleeve. People tell me to try and understand. I’m not certain if I know that I can. I watch as the political machine rolls on. They assure me this won’t be for too long. All we once had seems all but gone. Sounds like notes to that same old song. They say they know but spend a day in my shoes. When there’s nothing to gain there’s not much to lose. They say we need change and that much is true. It seems like a promise that they never will do. They say vote for me I have your interests at hand. But in their Ivory towers how can they understand? They spend millions to secure a place in the race. The favors they all owe seem like a disgrace. I think perhaps we should demand better. The rain still falls down as we get wetter. It would be nice if they would do as they say. I cannot follow when it has all gone astray.
