Obama

When you were elected
The world cried for joy
We thought we had empowered
The truth telling envoy
Now the news is you are spying
Executing without trial
Betraying virtues
Scarring closed the sky
Punishing the whistle blowers
Those who tell the truth

Do you recognize the yellow
Staring back, back at you?

All the hope drained from your face
Like children we believed
All the hope drained from your face
