Think about the future, twenty years from now
Political chaos over, the planet survives somehow
Will democrats and republicans continue to subsist?
With fundamentally divergent ideologies of which both resist
A rainbow in the fog, a blazing fire in the rain
We are part of the same story, when we’re hurt we all feel pain
Peace and health for those we love, it’s our universal goal
No one wants to see a future where a dystopian world unfolds
This territory of confusion, with wars that loom ahead
Waged by selfish shortsightedness—can we have a do-over instead?
This particular war was started with attacks against our own
In the distant future we’ll see clearly all we should have known
We sit back and watch protections that had been put in place
Eliminated under false pretense by a man with an orange face
He isn’t doing us a favor, although that’s what he claims
He does this all for money because that’s how he wins his game
Russia is in the White House, Putin pulling puppet strings
Until we stand together who knows what the future brings
Trump is a temporary president, his pawns in in front of us
Pence, Sessions, Tillerson, Bannon, Kushner, Nunes, Priebus
How will they atone? Only time will tell
Meantime we are learning how bad garbage can smell
If the world survives this, and calmness is restored
Clean air reinstated, we’ll again care for the poor
Our beloved Elmo will be re-employed
All but 35 percent of us will be overjoyed
It’s only a matter of time until the conclusion of the story
I wonder how it will read in twenty years when it’s history
