Politics

A little child is quietly watching the Tv,
he was watching so intently,
that he even forgot to pee.
Then Daddy gave a loud out grunt,“
You’re a man now…
You have to watch this son”

He flips over the channel,
to a presidential debate,
it was a battle of words,
between two prime candidates,
one another giving false pretense,
Daddy said this is where it all begins.

"Can I be your president?
will you vote for me?
I’ll right the wrongs,
and make this nation strong,
vote for me….
and it wont be long."

Then the child quizzed his Daddy,
if the man would ever mean his words,
Daddy said he’s just there to give T-shirts,
if somebody did something,
it could obviously be seen.

Just look at W,
what has he done?
he went to war with troops,
with loads of guns.

What happened to the Weapons of Mass?
Destruction is what they caused at last.
Nothing seems to make sense at all,
even Michael Moore seems to protest.

Then Daddy snorted,
“What ever happened to the Greats?
From Roosevelt to JFK,
How long must we wait?
Is it fated that all the good,
would die from a bullet of a gun..”

Now life goes on and we live on,
will things ever change from now on?
Will those promises ever be fulfilled,
hoping those words would be signed and sealed.

The Child then asked what leaders are out there?
And then came a reply with some expletives I swear,
he had lots to say.. he gave a piece of his mind.
he said something along these lines:

“If you travelled back in the day,
you would want to get Julius Caesar,
now that was a man,
you would want to call a leader.
He would literally beat the rest,
he was strong..
he was up to the test.”

“Another leader that you would want to follow,
he’s strong, he’s clever and a no-nonsense fellow,
You would think he’s some Bollywood actor,
his name is Genghis Khan you should have known better.”

“These fine men of great stature,
they’ll wipe the floor with today’s candidates,
for sure, they’ll send them all back clear,
staright back to yesteryear..”

“In all my life I see great men come and go,
the one’s that can lead are often assassinated though,
the wrong are killed and who has suffered,
We all know…”

“For people like Marthin Luther King,
he had a dream it was happening,
out of nowhere came a shot,
before Ben Branch could even sing….”

“Then we have a man who was to be called X,
it was to represent the suffering of the Blacks,
then he go a little too strong for one organization,
he was shot then came the sudden realization…”

“What is wrong with this whole world?
what can be done to make it sane?
Now what’s the point of choosing sides,
I’ll lose the game, it’s the same anyway.”

Then he gave a frustrated sigh,
“People got too many alibis,
we just live with the flow,
And just hope everything’s okay.”

The Child then says out loud,
“I’ll make things right I’m sure,
I’ll seal the cracks and make it strong,
I’ll show you Dad it won’t be long.”

“Then Daddy looked at him with teary eyes,
politics is going to be in a big mess,
when giving out speeches
don’t forget to wear your Kevlar vest.”
