Listen to Your Heart

(Try singing this poem to the tune of Bob Dylan's song "Blowin' in the Wind.")

 

How many lies can a president tell

Until people say, “That’s enough”?

How often can one man play a hard game

Until someone else calls his bluff?

How long till people stand up to hate

And give it a fitting rebuff?

The thing you must do is listen to your heart;

You must try to listen to your heart.

 

How many clouds must darken the sky

Before we can feel the cold rain?

How long must people suffer in life

Until we can feel their pain?

How can a leader within a short time

Destroy what is hard to regain?

The thing you must do is listen to your heart;

You must try to listen to your heart.

 

How many laws can a president break

Until Congress tells him, "You're fired!"?

How can a leader have so many duds

Among the people he's hired?

What does it take for the voters to say,

"We've had it; your time has expired"?

The thing you must do is listen to your heart;

You must try to listen to your heart.
