Talented beyond compare.
A genius like no other.
Independence you declare.
Much knowledge you discover.
You admired Bacon and Locke
You thought Jesus was quite smart
When your time ran out the clock
We saw what lay in your heart
You believed in liberty
But kept other men in chains
An alledged scientist
Who claimed white men had more brains
You said states rights were the way
But when you were President
Those beliefs withered away
You did what Presidents can't.
Only land owners can vote.
Only land owners have rights.
So it was by words you wrote.
The people still had to fight.
What makes it all so much worse?
That you knew it all was wrong.
You called slavery a curse.
And you sang a freedom song.
Of all the nations founders.
I detest you most of all.
Your principles you flounder.
A coward who dropped the ball.
