In Desperate Need of a Hero
Dear red, white, and blue
Is there still hope for you?
I wonder
Perhaps with someone in power
Who slaves by the hour?
To remain true
A person of dignity
Who's not a give-me
Or quota-fill
No reek of greed
No corruptive seed
Growing unchecked
A leader who can inspire
Who raises people higher
Than themselves
A soul with grace
Not colored by race
Of any kind
A take-charge warrior
An environmental voyeur
Who loves this planet
A Hero to lead
With only one creed:
America
Where do we find such belief?
When do we get the relief?
Of being loved in return
We'd die for the President
Would he pay the same rent?
Of course not!
Your sacrifice we do not require
We serve willingly, sire
If you're worthy
If you will get your hands a bit dirty
To further our lives
And enrich our minds
To earn our trust
It's all or bust
And always
America first!
Finally, a Hero with enough strength, enough hope, to give us back some of what was stolen.
