Politics

The lyrics from an excellent political rap song have been hitting very close to home lately. The rappers....er....poets that perform here have a greater understanding of our country and world than anyone in the upcoming election.
A Political Rap
D. Spencer and B. Helton
What if, one day, you woke up and the earth was gone?
Think about it, children.
Stop filling the air with hazardous fumes
Before we wake up one day in our tombs
If we can land spaceships on planet mars
Then why can't we make more fuel-efficient cars

Global warming, "Hey man, whats that?"
Burnin' fossil fuels melting all the ice caps
The government's like a vampire sucking our necks
Taking all the money from our hard-earned checks

Kids wouldn't be so doped up on drugs
If their parents stayed together and gave them more hugs
Higher rates of obesity with processed meat
Birds choking on plastic saying, "Trick or tweet?"
