Not For Sale

A world gone mad

Favors for those born into wealth

Through luck of their family name

And those that are bestowed power

By we the people in the name of justice

Not to mention those who achieve fame

From talent or lack there of…

 

are not for sale

             yet it is all too often bought.

 

 

Innocence of children daydreaming

Of Walking with Mickey Mouse

Or playing fetch with Goofy

As they imagine without limits

Of all they can achieve and reach

When they just believe…

 

Is not for sale

         But all too often is stolen.

 

 

Peace among all the mighty nations

As our eyes become blind to color

And our rivers of blood flow together

Drowning weapons of mass destruction

So they’ll never ever be seen again

Bringing freedom under one flag…

 

Is not for sale

            But still something we all need.
