The politics of adults in the 21st century.
He came out of nowhere and the people looked.

Without rhyme or reason he had them hooked.

They heard him speak and their eyes grew big.

He fed their hope like a big roasted pig.

What did he stand for they didn't know

But onward they gazed at his puppet show

He was a great man, they knew that for sure

Foolishly biting down on that big shiny lure

They danced in the streets when he was victorious

The election night scene at Grant park was glorious

They beemed and they squealed like a crazed Beatles fan

For they had elected presdident the first black man.

With the words of his promise to bring fundamental change

and "outdated" thoughts on the constitution were strange.

Our rights stripped away but you plead "he did not!"

"Constitutonal destruction" is a conservative plot.

Went back to your TV's and stared into space

Low and behold your savior wins another race!

Scandal, recession, unemployment you aren't hard hearted

For Americans have collectively become completely retarded.

The negligence that killed an ambassador "wasn't Barry's!"

The IRS run amok but your heart's remain merry.

Amendments One and Four trampled by the department of justice.

Boston searches, The Associated press, don't you liberals just lust this?

A historical image comes to my mind on this day.

German's of the 1930's who chose to look the other way.

Rather than admit that you were wrong and put a tyrant into power.

You will continue to fight his fight for him until the very final hour

For he has groomed you to do his very bidding.

About "fundamental change" he wasn't kidding.

I hold you partially to blame for the fate of our nation.

I hope it's not to late to find some salvation.

I have very little hope that this is actually the case.

I can see your dwindling spirit when I look you in the face.

You will rely on others when push comes to shove.

When it's all over will there be anyone left to love?

I'm tired of this rant it gives me no relief to vent.

I hope you've saved up, it's almost time to pay the rent.
