Eye of the Hurricane

[StephanieVanbryce]

This was written by a life long dem friend of mine - just shows you how much our world has changed . It's simple, but what I thought was unique about it is .. these issues were 'always' assumed to be dem issues .. and NOW ..?? NO


Who is this man?
Why does he not hear
the cry of the downtrodden?

Why does he not dare to take our trust
and keep it safe near his breast?

Instead we are laughed at for our honesty
for our patriotism
for ours fears of a colder world
where some are seated at the table
while others are on the floor
we want to believe in our leaders
who do not charm us with money
and fancy suits

we have had better times
when we did not feel the bitter wind
which made us wise
we cannot afford another
to put us down
in order to prop up a president
