True Blue
The people got together and formed a little click;
But everyone is jockeying; to be the favorite pick
Everyone’s agreeable; for they think so much alike;
But every bodies suffering and some may seem contrite.
The ladies have their issues; which makes them who they are;
The men all have their problems too; but since have come so far.
Bobby has no money; for things He wants to buy;
Carrie Lee is worried; and tears are in her eye.
When war is made the topic; at first they all agree;
That killing is atrocious; as far as they can see.
Then a young man from the service; will wave the stars and stripes;
And everybody clamors; to support the need to fight.
Pointing at the government; pointing at the times;
All will have opinions; but the truth seems hard to find.
Popular opinions; that’s the thing that rules;
And everywhere He looks; the misfit has the blues.
