Political Perogatives

I find myself both inspired and bored during some class discussions. I mean, you can only take some much blabber and reinforced, repeated statements. Some professors, just have the skill of putting one discussion into two by the simple tool of duplicity, so in between taking notes in my Cuban Revolution class, I wrote this...

I wish I was like most of my friends
Blind to our world's destiny until the end

It consumes and attacks me everywhere
From crooked politicians, unjust wars, and problematic health care

Vote for me they declare
I was once a good mayor

Now its time to run the free world
Its election time, what a hectic swirl

The candidates are for a new revolution
I question their holey propaganda as a proper solution

Quality of life in America is sadly decreasing
But the pockets and accounts of a few are increasing

The middle class needs some assistance
but we can't sit back, let's initiate a resistance

If we join together in arms
From city to city and farms to farms

We can't be refused to be heard
Mr. President, we demand action, not fluff word

This is our country
Not your personal oligarchy
