Picking Sides
The people spoke
The ballots were cast
We demanded change
We love our country
We love our home
But it cannot stay the same
We respect those in power
We admire their drive
But they cannot remain unchanged
We need new ideas
We need new reasons
Our agenda must be adjusted
To help those in need
To provide for those without
They cannot be ignored
Blue or red
Left or right
We all bleed the same
To choose between parties
To pick out a victor
All the while ignoring
The thing that really matters
We choose without thinking
And pick before knowing
We look but never see
Hear but never listen
But I guess that’s the price to pay
When you don’t prefer people
Over a politician
