Smoke Screen

I don't want to be president

I won't be just another face

Or any place's reigning queen

Distracting masses from malign

Become society's smoke screen

But inaction would be unsound

The world is not a film to watch

Turn on the news to rant and rave

Sun rises to a normal day

Lost are any dreams to help save

We know the truth behind our masks

Fear of betrayal

Change

Pride

Choosing to put the blinders on

Falsely claim man will never learn

Been the same since the break of dawn

In the beginning, god created

Yet now we just wait for his fix

Each soul has an eternal choice

To live in paradise today

Each man has an eternal voice

Stir the pot, change the recipe

Conjure up the will to go on

Beckoning your fellow brother

Let all actions bespeak the need

To make peace with one another
