Look In Their Eyes

Look in their Eyes Who do you believe? Look in their eyes. Is there the gleam of zealot or fanatic, Or opposition to a pack of lies? Do you see a sane man or a lunatic? Do you hear the bluster of a liar Who thinks by talking big he will seem strong But only manages to stoke the fire By saying what we know is right, is wrong? Or do you see a man of strong belief, A man of honesty and selfless principle, Whose freedom would be stolen by a thief Whose hubris makes him think himself invincible? The day of judgement comes, the future’s beckoning; We’re hurtling headlong to a day of reckoning.

Can someone please tell Joe he’s not running. The old drooler thinks he’s still the nominee. Putin and Xi must belly laugh at what America has become in the last four years. We’ll be able to hear them in Beijing if Kamala wins.
