Life Obama's Way
She was in that school chair all the time,
And all day long.
She was tired of all this teaching,
And all the things that she got wrong.
She left there in a hurry, ran to her house,
Told her mom she was quitting,
She was going to drop out.
Her mom sat her down and said,
"Honey, please don't do this."
But her mind was made up,
And she couldn't be dealt with.
She told her mom that she was, sick of learning,
And that she wouldn't go back,
Even though she could see her mom it was hurting.
Life came hard and cruel to that little girl,
And she began to realize,
She had given up the world.
She had a poor little job,
At a convenience store.
And her trashy car had broken something
She just couldn't afford.
Her friends who had finished school had all become a success,
And she saw she had made of her life a complete mess.
She wanted to fix things,
But she couldn't pay for school.
And they didn't give any scholarships,
'Cause the government was cruel.
They had ruined the economy,
And had taken all the cash.
They had killed her elderly grandmother,
And all the old ones at last.
The President was a Communist,
And there was no hope.
The America she knew as a child,
Had all gone up in smoke.
One day she tells her children,
Of how it was like,
To be free to make decisions,
Without fear of a fight.
The veterans run and hide in fear,
Of the President now,
Because he says that they are a threat,
And they must be wiped out.
What happened to that country,
Land of the Free?
It was taken over by a man,
Who was communist as could be.
In the end there's no one old, fat, or free,
And no one has the choice to be
What they want to be.

"Who believes Pres. Obama is full of junk?"
and you recommended me to read this poem. And you are right, i do like it. i think it expresses exactly what is happening in the world. I am a christian also, and a conservative ( as you can see from my screen name). i truly appreciate that you care enough to express your views and speak your mind. some people couldn't care less about what is happening in the world. (I know a few) but you care about the issues of today and i agree(again) with everything that you say. I will not support Obama either and will keep speaking up for what is right! I'm so glad that you are too! God bless us all!
