The Commander

"I am the commander" Said the foolish old man With the vacant stare And the idiot's grin. "I am the commander" And you will obey All the things that I do All the things that I say. "I am the commander" And the world has never seen A War President exactly like me. So, the land of the free And the home of the brave All of their rights and freedoms They gave. To the foolish old man With the idiot's grin And watched as the Great War Did begin. They watched with great horror And all were forlorn To see how easily a dictator Was born. The moral of this story My loyal friend and true Be care who you vote for It could happen to you. jojo7 2007
