Some Things Never Change I wish I were a liberal I think you know the kind They’re always sure and certain And they never change their mind There’d be no introspection No reflection, no remorse I’d sail in one direction And I never would change course They have a way of blocking out The evidence before them Faced with inconvenient truths Ironically, Ignore them Dealing with bad outcomes Well, they’ve found a way to bluff The program isn’t failing We just haven’t spent enough I ‘d never be concerned about Transgressions or abuses With legions of apologists Preparing my excuses A lurid accusation? The media won’t credit it A fumbling foolish answer? The media will edit it I’d have calm and mellow air Of certitude about me The world might be in chaos But it would be worse without me I’d say, “It’s time to turn the page.” When asked what that would bring I’d smile and say contently I wouldn’t change a thing By tarzanajoepoetry | October 10th, 2024 https://www.tarzanajoe.com/some-things-never-change/
