My Government

To my government that I love dearly, I must say that I write to you wearily. Like a good girl I write my concerns, when I get a response it just burns. It's a copy you send to hundreds of others, Not much comfort for the burdened mothers. It's easy to see there's no caring, to voters you write, it's so daring. To think we'll keep backing you with votes, when such responses we get to our notes, It's a little arrogant in the least, At times, you seem more like a beast. I know that easy isn't part of what you do, So for that, I do give credit to you. But put away the fancy words you give, And change things for us, in this world, to live.
