What a mess
The past has raised it's ugly head
palms out streched, our future's read
The devil's done his dirty deed
But God will still supply our needs
So keep in mind the task at hand
Your duty to the promised land
The chosen one betwixt the two
To change the lives of me and you
To govern fair amongst the earth
To always put the Father first
To feed the poor and hungry souls
To lead us to that pot of gold
To offer shelter where there's none
To recognize God's only son
To bring our loved ones home in peace
To make the cry for war to cease
To cut the cost of oil and gas
To save the race of middle class
To pay our teachers what they earn
To help our children so they learn
To open up careers and jobs
Take higher taxes , from richer snobs
Make healthcare, affordable
And nursing homes responsible
Social security and pension plans
Can't sustain the needs of man
Housing costs are way too high
A funeral costs too much to die
Medicines, all cost so much
That longer life seems out of touch
And don't forget the idle dreams
That bursts our jails right to the seams
while A.I.D.s and H.IV. I'm told
Sieze our cities in choke holds
Veterans now line our streets
lodged by trash cans where they eat
Mental patients roam at will
Innocent people being killed
Police have lost their civil minds
and joined the crooks in committing crimes
Terrorist now own our stores
and operate beyond the laws
Knowing this is what we face
Who will you choose to win this race?
Please make your voice heard say it loud Vote!

Ten steps past a dark recess
In the crowded streets of mire
A concrete city over exposed,
To winds of social fire.

Weep in mourning,

Sin
To be born under dim stars is to sin
A sin greater than murder or rape,
As thieves and assassins live more free,

The hamattan has come
So also have the rains gone
I'm thankful I have a home
To stop me getting chilled to the bone

There are genuine single parents,
full of life and full of zest,
they'd work every hour of every day,
for their children they
