Billions to fund a campaign But, there's no money to educate the young brains
Billions to fund a campaign But there's no funding for those that strain
Are billions really needed to win? Would it not be easier to speak from your heart with an honest smile And not a sinister grin?
Re-distribution of wealth? I don't want a hand out Just a little compassion And free health
We don't want to chose between life, or food on the table When emergency health costs our rent check We chose the latter And hope we remain stable
Oh, I forgot we're forced to pay for it now When we can't afford to buy groceries It slithered in as a "tax" And I bet the healthcare corporations had nothing to do with this atrocity
Other countries do it and flourish But we're so scared of that "*****" word Even though it's been used to benefit and nourish Their sick and their fertile
Some can't even afford To pay for the necessities But your rich friends take our hard earned money And you give them lavish subsidies
Tax less the rich And more the working man and woman Because our lives don't mean a thing We're just ants to which you burn
You're funded by the private The unspoken Yet we work until we are battered We sweat until we are broken
Some can't afford to pay for dinner But yet you take away our homes You leave us cold and weathered Humiliated and alone
There is no justice It was blind, but now it's six feet under Raise her from her grave Lift her veil, so she can see the blunder
This poem is imperfect But so are all we You think you know what is best But it's not best for this land of the free
You're turning it into a prison Where the lies are the warden Trapped inside is the truth Everyday it's ***** and broken
Take heed your actions And think hard of your decisions You have a nation as your child Raise us right and hold an honest vision
