Politics

Is this what we're really looking for?
The pain of losing her son
At war
Are these mistakes
Really all that minimal?
Can you honestly say
You wouldn't change a thing?

Do you know the nation?
Mr. President
Do
You
Know
Me?

No you don't know me

They are illegal
The aliens you hate
But do you really think
Citizens would take their jobs
Willingly
They work hours upon hours
For lower than minimum wage
Just for a better life
What's so wrong with that?
It's not like
You want
Their jobs
Or their pay

Do you know the nation?
Mr. President
High atop your tower
Where the sun blinds your eyes
A fancy mansion
Sitting an office
Built for two
Or three

No
You don't know me

What good is a democracy
Where the majority suffers
And the rich just watch and laugh?

You said it. Democracy, Communism, Dictatorships. All fail the people under them. Always because of power and greed at the top.
