Time for Change?

Not so sure about the system

So take some time to discuss its fate

I'm seeing fallout from the victims

While we're trying to resuscitate

In a world where what we know 

Is esoteric or cryptic

Deficits hit you like body blows

And ideas are ballistics

Although some of us react

Rather nonchalantly

Now the president is black

And he promotes a vision staunchly

"Yes we can," he says

To the vacillating masses

Dispensing promises like pez

To calm the clash between the classes

Far from crass or brash

And a survivor of the lashes

But can the USA last 

Or will it slowly turn to ashes?

Watch how the game is played

Does it depend upon the dissidents?

Can tough decisions be made

Or be upended by diffidence?

How do you tell consumers 

That they're victims of their vices?

Possessions serve as tumors 

But friends and family are priceless
