You don't always get what you expect.

Leaves fall.

That's expected.

Trump won President

How did he ever get

elected?

--

We expect the world

to turn and flowers

to bloom but all this

hatred, racism and doom

who ever thought our world

would become so gloom?

--

Dogs bark, cats meow

completely expected but

what's that orange devil

talking about now?

Watch how he wrecks it

before you know it he'll

be putting a tariff on

breakfast.

--

Rules and laws. Expected.

we can't function without them

but telling me who I can be

in my own skin? Think again.

My life will never be controlled

by a bunch of white men.

--

Children playing in the park

an expectation not a lark.

The world should feel good

and safe not scared and tired

instead thousands of workers

are being fired.

--

Business men run the land

We need a President who

will give the people a

hand, not ship them off

on the first boat, and laugh

with his buddies and gloat.

--

The tall lantern lit lady

still stands in the sea

lighting a torch for all

to see. But if we let them

tear down our history

then expectations become

they'll be no you and me.

--

So we must fight

set our expectations right

if we let them win their

war of hate and greed

we'll fail to create the

world we all need.

--

Be kind, expect good

all across our great land

always be ready and willing

to give each other a hand.

--

Only love will fix this plight

We can stop hatred in it's tracks

if we are kind, caring and have

each other's backs.
