Analysis of State of emergency

John Coss 1987 (ohio)



State of emergency

The world is dying people are crying,
Our government is lying.
So, who is going to give us peace,
No were not going to sign a lease.

There is so much hate,
We are all losing fate.
Who is to blame,
For all this who is to tame.

We are waiting and praying,
No, we are not staying!
We need to take a leap forward not going back,
We the people are not here to lack.

We the people need answers now,
So go ahead the power people take a bow.
You are not in control no more,
You are doing nothing but take the scab off the sore.

We need to take the power back,
Because the house will get no more slack.
Our president is in states of dementia doesn’t know what he is doing?
Might not know how to do the job he is losing.

So, bring back Trump and make us great,
Let’s not make another mistake.
Let’s lower prices and increase pay,
So, we the Americans will be okay.
