F(orget) THE SYSTEM

I'll let you set parameters for meaningless statistics,
I know you'll think that my results are less than idealistic,
Who gave someone like you the right to competence and power,
While someone working just as hard is paid five bucks an hour,
Your organized bureaucracy is stern and ineffective,
Your pretended representation shouldn't be so damn selective,
I always thought democracy was for and by the people,
and not based on the dollar or who built the highest steeple,
The deficit is growing, the economy's down the drain,
What's left of our integrity will fall like acid rain,
The cloud of blind suppression now is smothering the voices,
Will North Korea ever know that some are given choices?
I'm guessing God is crying as He hears our helpless pleas,
If only there were more of us with bruises on our knees,
We're always fighting something and it seems we'll never win,
Though there are issues with the system, we must find our
peace within.
