Poor Gov. McGreevey.
It stays the same
The world turns, the sun fades
Women lie and cry behind shades
Of mediocrity and sadness
A thousand new reasons to cure the madness.
We ache to see the sunrises yet again
For the patience is not enough to atone the sin
Of anger, or lust
Of danger, or trust
Sleeping in the bed of a wolf
Does not mean sheep's clothing is good enough.
An excuse that goes unheard
Is an excuse yet still.
The leaves change from green to grey
Over a months time gone in a day
The penny spent is a penny earned
But still, what is the lesson learned?
That it's OK to fraud the elections;
That it's OK to kill in all directions;
That it's not OK to be gay in the government;
That it's not OK never to relent
To the authorities and patriot acts
The offices filled with middle-aged, white rats
Not taking the blame for their own mistakes
But letting us pay taxes to give tax breaks
To the richer, the higher, the better, the "have mores,"
But what about us who don't get anymore?
Do we struggle from day to day without a decent wage
Only to be laughed at and scorned by those who get better pay?
