I wish I were a liberal
I think you know the kind
They’re always sure and certain
And they never change their mind
There’d be no introspection
No reflection, no remorse
I’d sail in one direction
And I never would change course
They have a way of blocking out
The evidence before them
Faced with inconvenient truths
Ironically, Ignore them
Dealing with bad outcomes
Well, they’ve found a way to bluff
The program isn’t failing
We just haven’t spent enough
I ‘d never be concerned about
Transgressions or abuses
With legions of apologists
Preparing my excuses
A lurid accusation?
The media won’t credit it
A fumbling foolish answer?
The media will edit it
I’d have calm and mellow air
Of certitude about me
The world might be in chaos
But it would be worse without me
I’d say, “It’s time to turn the page.”
When asked what that would bring
I’d smile and say contently
I wouldn’t change a thing
