CHANGE

(C) lear
(H) abits
(A) re
(N) ot
(G) getting
(E) easier

CHANGE not wanted, complicates life.
A fast pace, into future.

Choice not offered, simply altered.
Why "fix" what's, not broken?

In your eyes, more unnecessary.
A new generation, getting older.

One day at, a time.
Simply breathe and, move on.

TENSIONS

(T) aking
(E) verything
(N) egatively
(S) oul
( I ) s
(O) utwardly
(N) eeding
(S) upport

TENSIONS arise, become polarized.
Cold as ice.
Ears closed, tunnel vision.
No longer nice.

It's "them", against "them".
All loosely defined.
World full, of hypocrisy.
No one minds.

Time to, bring together.
Find a solution.
Before it's, too late.
Have a revolution.

Don't think, can't happen.
Been done before.
Look back, was called...
The Civil War.

The thought, keeps me...
Up at night.
Seeing humanity, so unkind.
Ready to bite.

First just, a few.
Bullet here there.
Broken arm, or two.
Does anyone care?

Egged on, by government?
Straight to top?
An election, coming up.
Time to stop.

A plan, is needed.
For the people.
Not for, just some.
Not one's ego.

A balance, of power.
Have three branches.
Bipartisanship is, the answer.
Increases our chances.

Stop loading, the deck.
Loyalty depend on.
Constitution written, for representation.
Not personal agenda.

Stop the, blame game!
Gets us nowhere.
Start living, name given.
Nothing else compares!

Stand tall, and proud.
Be the positive.
That helps, in removing...
All the negatives.

Earn back, what lost.
UNITE, UNITE, UNITE!
Freed from the hatred.
From the lies!

Then truthfully, thankfully become...
                        U.S.A.
      UNITED States of AMERICA
Today, hopefully forever.

WHY

(W) hat
(H) appened
(Y) esterday?

WHY does it matter, no one seems to care.
History finds no place, in today's world of now.

Everything's different they say, let bygones be bygones anyway.
All about the selfie, can't picture anything else but.

What they don't know, will hurt them soon enough.
Doesn't pay to ignore, or past will repeat itself.

MUSIC may soothe the soul.

Choose your rhythm with intent.
Then others see you're content.

Bring us off brink of insanity?
Back to democracy as truly meant?
