pink, dear mr president



Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?

there is so much in my life that i want to achieve

i want to be an artist; to express myself in a painting.
i want to be a musician; so you can hear me.
i want to though be a teacher; even it would be the last thing i would do, i want to make a difference to peoples lives.

200 years ago woman were not on this planet to have an education and to have a career, or even a life.
50 years ago women did have an education, but their purpose in life was still the same 'to get married by the age of 20 and have children.' its funny how things change, and are they always for the good?
women in the '50s could wear clothes and still be called beautiful.
hardly spoken were the words abortion, divorce, contraception; yet they now are common words in our everyday life. back then they were a sin, religion was everything.

now er days its OK to get married and have a child, get divorced, meet someone else and then have another child. love is an overused word.
we are now allowed to have a life, go to college, get a job, travel etc.

of course we have all heard of the saying 'you can't have your cake and eat it too' yet these days, I'm not sure if everyone understands it.

I've grown up/am growing up, in a world where pornographic images are everywhere.
people being famous for their promiscuity.
where looks are everything, where teenagers are on diets, where 18 year olds are being frowned upon for starting a family, and where music has become computerised.

so maybe we can thank God for giving women a chance, but don't take advantage of what we have got. we can still live life and do crazy things, make mistakes and learn from them. just as long as we understand these things.


PS. correct me if i am wrong.
