BLAMING THE PRESIDENT AGAIN

Blame, blame and more blame
It is so tiring to hear the uninformed
blame the President for everything wrong
and on the other hand give him no credit
For all the great things he has done to get
the country back on the right track after
twenty eight years of bad decisions by
his predecessors

Where is the blame and accusations toward 
the leaders in Congress who have been 
around for way too long growing rich
Do they not have responsibilities?
 
Those who do not like the president
for various reasons have been attacking him
ever since he was elected.  He wants to drain the
swamp of all the corruption taking place
He has been under attack by the Senate,
the Mueller Investigation and then impeached by the House
He has been cleared in each situation even though
the odds were stacked against him

People point out that he is not perfect
The only Man we know as perfect
was nailed to a wooden cross
Those who blame should listen to the words
of He who instructed us to love our neighbors
 
The corona virus has people unnerved
and there is no end to their anxiety
This is understandable; a natural reaction

The Stock Market crashes because of fear
There is also manipulation going on by
Those who can play the ups and downs
For their own benefit and can survive
Easily any mistakes they may make
History shows that the market comes back

People shall come back also with a newness
It is perhaps time to reflect seriously on
The words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We shall overcome, we shall overcome
Thank God Almighty, we shall overcome

I pray that dignity and respect for others
Is part of this important chant and prayer
I pray that critical thinking returns to vogue
 
We have one life and cannot go back and relive it
When time to reflect, what do we want to see?
A path they took with thoughtfulness and responsibility
or were they part of a herd of sheep 
going over the cliff of the foolhardy

So many want to wave the flag of righteousness and
point out how the man in the spotlight failed
They observe through a skewed, prejudiced eye
When they look they will see that their own actions pale
Why did they fail when they had so many chances
They do not hold themselves to the same high standards they profess

They will be gathered up with the rest and then separated 
into the seeds and the chaff; the chaff will be burned 
Just as the rivers are lost in the oceans, these poor souls
will be lost in the neither world with their fellow hypocrites
