You say things are poised to change now,
There's a new breeze blowing through the halls of Parliament.
But does that mean that
you will stop running red lights
just as if they were guidelines and not rules?
Does that mean you'll stop bribing cops
for busting you when you talk on the phone and drive
or when you drive while you're drunk
when you're 17.
Does that mean that you will start loving your kids with love
and not money
and set the example of treating everyone alike-
your parents, and your siblings
and their spouses,
and their children,
and your children's friends
and the kids they call their enemies
and their parents
and the teachers your kids like
and the ones they don't,
all because we are all human
and live once,
without a manual of how to go about it
and without a hope of keeping everyone happy
all the time
including ourselves?
You say things are poised to change now,
There's a new man in the Seat
But does that mean that there's a new man
in you?
