This is a letter
To President Obama
And all of Congress
It is in Haiku
For those who don’t know Haiku
Ask a school teacher
This open letter
Comes from one single voter
Who speaks for many
Proud Americans
Who believe in our country
But feel discontent
A season of change
Where hopes and dreams are fulfilled
Was promised to us
We want to see change
We voted for you to act
But you have failed us
Barack Obama
Has let America down
By failing to lead
We want our leaders
To step up and fight for change
The way they promised
In Copenhagen
We could have had a real deal
Our President failed
Global climate change
Will now devastate millions
While we fail to act
The Climate Accord
Is not a meaningful deal
Our leaders failed us
Meanwhile in China
Energy Technology
Will help them beat us
They are investing
America is asleep
China will own us
Here in the Congress
We could have real health reform
But it’s watered down
Even 60 votes
Is not enough to make change
When our leaders fail
Now the Dems have lost
Their precious 60 vote lead
The lead they squandered
Nothing hurts us more
Than trusting people to act
And watching them fail
Our leaders squandered
Every opportunity
To bring us real change
It shocks the senses
We see all the potential
But nothing gets done
We don’t give a damn
About stupid politics
We want to see change
We voted for change
And if you won’t give us change
We will vote you out
The alternative
May indeed be worse than you
But it will be change
It’s time to wake up
And stop selling us bullshit
We are watching you
It’s too late for hope
The proof is in the pudding
Shape up or ship out
Get on your blow horn
Make change we can believe in
And win back our trust
