Reality

Panic, air born, I feel,
confusion about what is real

Economy, I say, alas,
will they ration gas?

The dollar took a dive,
inflation didn't just arrive

People turned their head
corruption greedily fed

Who can we blame,
America put to shame

The campaign has ran
we depend on one man

Yet, opposition reins down
everyone wears a frown

Pull together country, free
this is reality.
