Walk a mile in his style


Light shines on my face
I am ready to embrace
the reality of it all
truth, justice, the American way

One small step
in the right direction
or are we just hoping for re-election
first you must pass our inspection

I say out loud
do not judge
unless you walk
a mile in his shoes

Be it a size 10 or 12 1/2
tie them tight and start your strutting
if it’s so easy to decide the fate of another mans life. pick away we will wait

Yet, We all still gladly sit on our couches
and take our turn Monday quarterbacking
will we all as a whole
ever get the same satisfaction

This I doubt
as humans it is natural
to blame others
then to look at ourselves

So point and accuse
in the end we all will lose
unless forgiving involves forgetting
the ones we accuse

hmm I think I will try on a new pair of shoes
