Great, Again?


I'm ashamed to be an American  
I didn't vote, I haven't been to the circus in years either  
I'm sad because I understand  
I'd laugh too, if I knew what to believe or,    
if I saw rocket man played by anyone besides Elton John  
I don't invest in laughingstock, and I'm no economist  
I'm scared of US more than our orange faced don  
who bought our country to divide Russians and pessimists  
I hate politics, I never even get involved  
we've made steps forward and devolved  
and the next will inherit this administration's mess  
from my birth during Clinton> Clinton> Bush> Bush> Obama> Obama> Trump and on unless  
we realize the world doesn't revolve around US, but if this is our clown that's bad press  
I won't vote still, I haven't believed yet in a suit and a slogan. The people are the answer to the problem we need to address.

Author's Note
Don't give up on the dream, just wake up from it.
Kick the politicians off twitter. All of them.
I read this to someone close to me, and they suggested a change to the last line that I thought about for a few days and then agreed to make.
