A Poem about change
If you voted for him once before
Then passed on him for the following four
Then changed your vote
Cause the old guy seemed remote
Can you now be sure?
We’ve watched as Presidents seem detached
As the world’s troubles like eggs start to hatch
When they come from all over in batch after batch
Crossing our borders too many to catch
The treasury needs someone to put a lock on the hatch
As we question “Is this digital currency the new dollar match?”
The big rolls in DC are being filled by the dozens
Will he choose wisely before he gets to his cousins
So we ask, “What will change?”
Can he fix what some call the last of the remains
Can he reach across the aisle to get the problems fixed
Can he pull solutions from his hat like an old magician’s trick
Only time as it evolves has the answers we need
Only time will show us if he puts aside greed
To finally stop what makes our great country bleed
We hope and we pray as each dawn appears
We won’t be watching the past reappear
That nothing changes as in the years before
And costs keep rising more and more
Mr. President please hear our everyday pleas
Forget what caused those old jealousies
And remember…
Every President leaves a legacy.
