Obsessions of the Mind

Due to the political unrest with the new president, many are not happy or looking at the dismal prospect of losing their healthcare, sole source of income by a group of uncaring politicians.

What we live in to be free,

could last for eternity,

longing for the day,

waiting for a chance to meet with thee.

 

We wake up in the spring of life,

and stay until we have reached the last slice,

wondering what will be,

from now until all eternity.

 

We obsess of what we need,

to live free,

in this land of liberty,

if changes are to be,

 

Hardship waits ahead,

of the things that we may dread,

from leaders who don’t remember what is said,

but have obsessions of the mind instead.

 

Profit is what they want to see,

but not the one for you or me,

but the rich who want for free,

and the rest are pushed into the sea.

 

What we need is a simple affair,

for the needs from the ones who care,

to live in a land of liberty,

a place to stay and food to eat.

 

Dreams are made to last,

to be set in stone as the scene is cast,

not shot down just as fast,

to make an unwinnable task.

 

Hardship still haunt our days,

by unfeeling souls that have their ways,

leaving many wandering in a daze,

broken of spirit by a lack of pays.

 

Money may rule,

owned by those who treat us as fools,

who lack compassion and act cruel,

looking for that deadly duel.

 

Guarded lives they live,

and claim they have nothing to give,

yet greedy fools in their ways,

willing to make others pay.

 

But wealth creates a heavy chain,

that will drag them down,

to the devil’s reign,

leaving their souls with a darkened stain.

 

To live a life of endless pain,

of acid rain,

with nothing to drink,

and treated as insane.

 

Yet the innocent have to pay the price,

living in filth,

covered in lice,

fighting for food with the mice.

 

Yet hope remains to this day,

by those who shout they will stay,

and demand they will never pay,

to live their life in their own way.
