How to Cope in Scary Times

How to cope in scary times
while politicians wash our minds
with thoughts of fear they misdirect
and stain our flag with disrespect

When rule of law gets lost in fog
A country too can lose its way
With righteous thoghts so absolue
that death becomes the price you pay

How many more must die today
How many more must disappear
Just How much money do they need
Before they lift this veil of fear

The answer lies in common men
To put us on the path again
Reverse the course - avoid the brink
To Right our ship before it sinks

To Steer us back to olden days
when people were priority
perhaps the sun will shine again
and light the way for all to see

Perhaps the world will understand
That this was not what WE had planned
The war, the death, the disrespect
were cast upon us while we slept

But now we wake and now we see
and pierce the fog with open eyes
We say no more to fear and hate
We will not listen to your lies

So how to cope with scary times
Is just a simple change away
the power lies within your vote
to make the evildoers pay

so when im asked with furrowed brow
Just how i cope in scary times
The answer is I dare to hope
And work to leave the past behind
