Poor Leadership

Our leadership is failing, more and more each day
What are taxes for and why should we pay?
I’m very confused as to what I keep seeing
Politicians? Government? Who protects our wellbeing?

We need to fast forward and end this vile year
I’m sick of the dirty fights and the political smears
In my humble opinion, we need to bring God back
We have chased him away and stopped dead in our tracks

So much for moving forward and learning from our past
We all need some peace and we need it fast
This path we are on is not where we should be
There is too much at stake that affects you and me

I keep waiting for that pop when our heads get pulled out
Let’s stop acting like animals with the chants and the shouts
We are just hurting ourselves instead of gaining ground
Let’s get rid of this hate and spread more love all around

Definitely more love and care and respect is needed in our world if we are to survive because at this rate if the virus continues millions of lives will be lost. Blessings Mark, Jennifer.

To have a near perfect world we need strong leaders to lead the way, sadly many countries don't have them, ours included, corruption and greed seems to be the order of the day. But we mustn't give up hope. Tom
