My life is a fashion show, My country's flag is a poster, The stars are check marks off a shopping list, And my future president wants to build a barrier to keep us in- And keep the rest of us out.
Outside I hear a child Calling out to the world and begging, Screaming that he'll see change. Swearing that if he can have a chance He will see himself.
The television buzzes. I am not sure what it's saying But the colors tell me that I'm not supposed to know. And each time I try to understand I am to expect a slap to the wrist.
My future president has a lot of money; I've seen pennies fly out of his mouth. His heart is grey and his eyes glow red But I've been taught to believe in the colors and I'm not supposed to know What they mean.
My cats are unaware Of any inconvenience. Whether we change the world or not, They'll find food in their dishes daily. They will have a human to curl up next to.
The trees are sad today. Earth knows it will fall victim To this vile mess of waste and greed Only to serve a species with no mind to realize That we're meant to care for that which gives us life.
I've been watching reruns Each day I have spent in this life. Nobody wants to hear the truth. Nobody wants to believe working together will change the world, But hasn't the world been at war this whole time?
