Where Allegiance Lies I hear some people talking politics And, can’t believe some things I hear They’re so blinded by allegiances They won't seek out, the truth, they fear. They won’t try to see past the lies Won’t believe, (although they know) The path of their favored Party Is not where, they really want to go. But, rather than do the right thing Follow, that feeling in their gut They’ll vote how their Party says And they stay, in the same old rut. Sometimes, for the good of all And, that is all, well and fine But, even if it hurts everyone They’ll just go with, the Party line. Our two Party system is broken It’s just the red against the blue And those who run our politics Don’t care what’s best for me or you. Some States can even force you To declare, for one or the other When you might want to vote, both One for one, the next, for another. When they get behind in the polls That’s when the bs really starts to fly It’s one ad, then a counter ad And most of them, let truth, slip by. We condone it with our silence They don’t care about the truth They’ll use any means to get votes For their Party, in the booth. What is the best for our Country? Is he/she really up to the task? Am I really voting for the best? (Some questions, that some, never ask.) The Great Experiment is failing And, the fault is yours and mine It’s time we all thought for ourselves And stepped across, that Party line. We Pledge Allegiance to America That, should be our single, sacred vow We must clean up, this mess we made And the best time to start, is, right now! 10.18.2008 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 [This message has been edited by Abe (10-19-2008 11:58 AM).] |
