The Fraud we fell for

I wrote this about Obama 2 years ago.

Who is this? 
The man we elected. 
After 6 hard years,
He is not much respected.

He was a milestone for us.
The first of his shade. 
But look at this nation 
And the mess he has made.

Because you are first
Doesn't make you the best
And in the case of this guy
He's failed every test.

The economy was bad 
When he took the reign.
He blamed it on others,
And said to expect much more pain. 

Every step that he took
Was done to destroy
All of the liberty
We've come to enjoy.

Watch him, he laughs. 
He golfs and he blames.
It's the republicans fault. 
And that's who he shames.

Nothing that's bad
Has been from his hand.
He read it in the paper. 
That he bought from the stand. 

Our nation isn't slow 
We see all he's done
Nothing for us 
As he basks in the sun

Our history is something
He hates and abhors
The tide of Africans
We drug to our shores

His father from Kenya
But never his dad
Taught him our nation 
Was nothing but bad

So he learned from his mother 
And a Muslim she Wed
And Preacher named Wright
And all that they said

He made his way 
On charisma alone
He spoke the right words
He measured his tone

The facade now complete
He spoke a good speech
Bleeding hearts pushed him forward 
And help was far out of reach

So now here we are
Our world is a storm
But to him this is perfect
To him it's the norm

America now reduced
To observe and not act 
The truth is all lies
Regardless of fact

Two years now remain
His job almost done
He cruises through life
And all of its fun

When he's gone we rebuild
We remember and pray
That never again
Are we treated this way

Turn the corner

Turn the corner 
Take it wide
Keep your focus
On what's inside

The things behind you
Trouble and drama
The things that stress
You and your mama

Can see no fault
In what they do
You point them out
And they point at you

They never see
The mirror reflect
Because they lie
And always deflect

So turn the corner
On your own
Block out the noise
Find your zone

Go to work
Support your mom
Defuse the conflict
Disable the bomb

Send it away
To explode out of sight
Let it discover
A new place to fight

You have your life
And that is enough
Than to be dealing with another
And all of their stuff

You come to this life
Alone and crying
You leave this place
Alone and dying

 Surrounded by loved ones
Is what the paper will tell
But those two moments are just you
Between heaven and hell

The time here on earth 
Is meant to transcend
So travel your road
And soon it will bend

The corner will show
And then you will turn
Life will improve
And it's all so you learn
