hope and change | Verse-afire

Never let a crisis go to waste, even if you have to manufacture the crisis yourself. If your aim is to destroy an entire country and culture, best to do it while the iron is hot. And best to do it while the mainstream media is on your side, telling people what you want them to hear, what you want them to think. You are the Messiah, the Chosen One, the bringer of Light, and Hope and Change, the creator of a new age of perfection and enlightenment, a brilliant post-partisan, post-racial age, where the wolf and the sheep shall lie down together. And you, oh golden one, are the wolf.

All hail the One, the Hope and Changer

Bestow upon him laurel wreaths

Accord to Him birth in a manger

Blessed be the air He breathes

Purple hemmed the robe He’s wearing

Golden sandals tread the floor

Ruby rings of worth past caring

Smiling smiles we all adore

Happy is the land He rules o’er

Happy are his subjects too

Happy teachers run His schools for

Happy children who on cue

Clap and sing we love each other

Clap and sing we love Barack

Clap and sing we love Big Brother

Never get our country back

Hail the One, the Hope and Changer

Bestow upon Him laurel wreaths

Clap and sing for there’s no danger

Blessed be the air He breathes

Polls indicate that President Obama’s policies have fallen below fifty percent approval, while his personal popularity has remained high. This seems a contradiction, so I asked a woman why she liked Obama. She thought a moment, then said:

Obama brings us hope and change

He makes me feel so very strange

I like him

Obama brings us change and hope

The dreams he dreams are vast in scope

I like him

I know the country that we knew

Will be no more when he gets through

But lordy how I’m telling you

I like him

But will the Obama presidency change for the worse the country we knew? Will the country we knew be no more? I suspect if we keep our heads we can keep the worst from happening. A man I know, who voted for him, expresses the beginnings of doubt.

Obama brings us hope and change

And though his plans are off the range

I like him

Obama brings us change and hope

And while I’d not give him more rope

I like him

Of course we’ll have to rein him in

To keep the country like its been

With luck he’ll not be Ho Chi Minh

I like him

But then when I think of the crimes

In other places other times

What he’ll do now will surely pale

With what will happen if we fail

To guard our liberties and homes

So when the writers write their tomes

About the times we live in now

The people then won’t scrape and bow

And sing Obama, Father’s Son

We know you surely are the One

And though my doubts have now begun

I like him
