We Should Try

Here I am

In this place I stand

The same place I did land

When I arrived as part of God’s Plan

Now

Not sure

Unclear and hard to understand

Now I do not know what to do

Not sure which to

Choose

When there is a choice

Go left?

Go right?

I dunno

I hit the brake lights

Wait

And hope I can make sense

But everyone seems

So malevolent

You must be heaven sent

Because I do not need to choose

There is no win or loose

No wonder what to do

It’s easy when I’m with you

We should try

Just figure it out

Not worry about why

Do not deny

Or try and make it more

Or less

Give respect

We should try

Because it is the only way we can know

And along the way our hearts grow

No show

Just

I don’t know

I am unsure of so much

I like your touch

But…

What about when tomorrow’s news breaks

A whole bunch of people tweet it’s fake

What to believe

Why?

Cause it is hurtful to try

So I won’t

That I won’t deny

But…

We should try

Try and be something

Perhaps you and I

Or maybe just a nice place to lie

I won’t be shy

I won’t ask why

Or only want to be high

But…

I think we should try

I voted Today

I voted today

But there were 10,000 Russian bots in my way

Hail Donald Trump

Was all they could say

But it’s Election Day

Votes count

My sticker won’t go away

And tomorrow morning whatever the news does say

All things will remain

Our country will be the same

Still getting upset with protests at football games

Even though all they ask is that we change

That we live the American Dream

Not just sing an anthem as our pride beams

But be honest with each other

Be kind, gentle, love one another

We must heal the past

It won’t mend in a cast

As we hobble forward

Say we’re in first

But we’re in last

So vote today

Have your say

Cast for red

Or cast for blue

But tomorrow whatever you do

Do not expect things to be different

Just because of the hue

Cause the same people who own red

Own blue too

That’s why those bills go through

So the fat cats can get fatter

So vote

But it doesn’t matter

We will still be tomorrow

Where we are today

We will still have bills to pay

To our corporate masters

But we will have each other

We will have our love for one another

We can choose each day

From nine til five hours afternoon

We will not be in a tomb

Or chained to wage slavery

That will only be part of our day

Followed by us

The kids

And a romp in the hay

Then we sleep do it all another day

So vote today

And tomorrow do

Start to change the world through you

Be what you want

Let others do what they do
