If Politician's Really Cared - A Poem by Christopher D. Sims

if politician's really cared,

we would not be in such

a drastic situation.

we would not talk of inflation

or global invasions.

if politicians really cared

Joan could keep her house.

American manufacturers

would not have relocated oversees

or flooded the South.

if politicians really cared

we'd have a more balanced

political system. less Black and

Latino men would be locked up

in prison.

if politians really cared,

education would mean much more.

how to really motivate our children

would be the most important subject

being debated on the House floor.

if politicians really cared, America

would be more than just the "best."

we'd be a true beacon of light

that held hands and participated

with the rest.
