Political
Political
You aren't listening
yes you got ears
what am I hearing why are you in fear
internal policies governmental new normalcy
what's the matter with me
is it possible Nixon Resurrected man
The one who got the most votes in 2016
You know who you know who I mean
More than a hunch
Instead of a vote for Hillary most people voted for Trump
how did we elect them
no it's not about Democrats or Republicans
if I vote for you
it's for you not your special interest groups
how is it that the rich seems like
equally don't have to worry about sickness
or the cost of gas
no man's is pure
Or innocent and with the sun
after all smiley faces are just a frowns
turned upside down
and when you're in the storm
standing all alone
grab your bugle and Horn
blow the trumpet loud
praises Heavens rise open up your mind's eyes
open minds ever so practical manufacturer
so if you're International political personally
I don't vote for the party or the man
I vote for the one who's less lying
the one who's lying less
Oh I digress
Old man old woman what's your mission
Not trying to be cynical
But I refuse to be political
