The world is at a crossroads
I’ve heard some people say
For long as I been livin’
You could say that every day
Those with education
And their noses out of joint
Scorn this talk of crossroads
They prefer “inflection point”
But, choices make a difference
Like who we pick for POTUS
And some less “monumentous”
That we never even notice
The maximum accomplishment
The greatest epic fail
The latter is more likely
If you’re wanting for a nail
The Middle East is steaming
And the Far East’s getting hot
Of course, there’s Venezuela
Just in case you had forgot
Iran is building missiles
Threatening their neighbors
Putin’s in the Balkans,
Rattling his sabers
And what’s the Senate doing
While the world around them burns
Holding seven hearings on
The Donald’s tax returns
Threatening impeachment
Like my Congressman, Brad Sherman
If he served in the 40’s
We would all be speaking German
The primary obsession
Of each and every member
Is how to leave the District
At least until September
Consider, all ye Senators
Approaching this inflection
Think about America
And not the next election
Reflect for just a moment
And let your conscience lead you
Your President, your country
And perhaps, your planet, need you
