A Coating Of Fresh Paint
In the midst of wishful change.
We all await that time to come.
Without promises made,
Every decade done.
The rhetoric has exhausted benefits to see.
No more is a coating of fresh paint,
Needed.
To cover, update or renovate,
A familiar look of a way of life.
Known not to lower,
The high price it takes...
Keeping pretentious impressions made.
Regardless what color is chosen to pick.
With a vote that decides,
Who is more qualified to sit.
In the position to have competence.
Or has proof and evidence of it.
We are addicted as a people,
Living with rights and entitlements to get.
And...
In the midst of wishful change,
Eventually to come done.
We will continue to be,
More like rabbits with habits to feed.
No matter what color is chosen to pick,
With a coating of fresh paint...
To cover over the image,
Of a democratic society to select it.
This fact remains to go unchanged,
Not too many will consciously allow...
Deceivers who lie, hoodwink and trick,
They can Make America Greater Again.
If given the opportunity,
To fill their pockets and those elite.
By having it believed they alone can fix,
Our capitalistic way of life.
With a swift decapitating of it!
'And this...
Is applauded and cheered?'
'Yes!'
'Who has agreed,
To put cyanide in the kool-aid?'
'Those who support and follow.
Perceiving themselves,
Beneficiaries of an entertaining joke!'
