What Would I change


As I grow and see the world change

I began to understand only one thing

The greatest nation in which I live

Needs to look to the future and re-begin

The past of our history is full of darkness

And the government we trust filled with secrets

The mass would rather elect a president by the name of Ryan Seacrest

We lost our knowledge and just became the consumer

And those to help shed the light became fewer

Once seen as the world’s hero

Became laughing stocks from sixty to zero

Regardless if we aren’t the only ones

We should set better examples for our little ones

Even if we really are the fools

These jokers have the best tools

Because when there is nothing but gloom

These clowns will Patch Adams the emergency room.
