Number 44

Number 44

Oh Great Eagle
Number 44 is at the door.
Change is the word
Like never before.

Oh Great Eagle
What was promised You
That I will do.

Change is the word
Change is the game
What use to be the norm
Will never be the same.

My pitch is Green
Crank the money machine
Spend our way
Out of our debt –
Out of work?
Need not fret.

Print more money
Spend our way through
This is the change
I promised you –
Commerce, Trade
Health Care too!
These are things
I will make come true!

Oh Great Eagle
You are a Phoenix Risen anew
The promises of change
Have come True.

Cleverly riddled with irony and sarcasm. It's so easy to make promises before you have the job. So hard to deliver once you actually discover you are just one man, who answers to millions, and those you thought allies, simply hope to someday take your place....

Well written, enjoyed.

Interesting write I thought at first stanza's were sarcasm but now I'm not so sure, maybe you respect what the country is trying to do to get out of the recession and the promises it has made to make it better for people, or maybe it was just sarcasm hehe.
