Political Greed

(07/09/11) The world is changing and so are we We are reaching the stage of poverty Times are harder and prices are climbing But our wallets are really declining. How do you tell a politician who has Money in the bank that we’re on the Road to bankruptcy, when beyond Their nose they can not see. How do you get out of the coffin That they have made, when your put inside a grave. How do you open up that coffin door When fresh air you can’t breathe any more. When that latch is closed so tight And you try to open it with all your might. This my friend is an ugly sight. People all over the world are asking for change And the politicians are the ones to blame. They think of them selves and the almighty dollar While the public screams and hollers. Some times I wonder if going back To the times of bartering Is the key- to get out of poverty. I have what you want and you Have what I need, and no Middle man in between. You make clothing and I make shoes Let’s just exchange and no one will lose. There has to be an end in sight We are tired of this constant fight. We must open up their eyes For to our needs they are blind. Let them live in the slums of any State that they choose, then they Will see how much they lose. Give them that challenge and you will see They can not live in poverty. Not one of them will reverse that role Because it’s too hard and much to cold.
