How can America be great if values are being downplayed?
Party, Policy and supporting a leader have been more important
Than finding common ground, unity, and a person’s character.
How can our society be at Peace?
When the leader believes
That chaos and upheaval are beneficial.
When divide and conquer are actual political strategies to be used boldly and tactfully.
And there is no objection from those who would have him win an election.
How can there be respect among our fellowmen?
When no respect is shown at the highest level of Government.
How can we feel safe?
When our leaders model lawlessness and hate.
How can there be consistency?
And know what to expect in our Society?
When the lawmakers keep changing the rules to suit their needs.
There is no fairness, civility or decency.
Instead they give a truckload of hypocrisy.
How can we continue to be free?
When we allow attacks on our democracy.
When lawmakers don’t stand with the constitution.
When norms and rules are severely loosened.
We are not truly free
When our minds are encased in lies and conspiracy theories.
How can we advance as a country?
When this Administration has no policy but to dismantle.
Taxpayers are paying their leaders
To undo, destroy and cancel.
How can we maintain humanity in our society?
When we fail to show empathy.
We are encouraged to stay in our political lanes.
Divisiveness and disrespect are the leader’s mainstay.
As we say in the Caribbean –
If it’s to Trump you give your deciding vote
Then it’s obvious what is here now – “yuh like it so”.
Meaning if you’re not seeking change
You’re satisfied with the way it is.
Because you now know what Trump is about
So when “push come to shove”
And your circumstance becomes a strain
You will have no right to set blame or complain.
“You would have made your bed, and you would have to lie in it”.
So make sure you’re comfortable with what your vote brings.
