grumpy old men
when they spoke
we said amen
others said
“oh men!”
they kept us waiting
our hearts were aching
uncertainty messing our sanity
fraud took place with impunity
disrupting our unity
causing great disunity
hatred
victimization
ethnicization
rumbling our great nation
now there is a funny sensation
the losing winner acted like a sinner
putting off the glimmer
that shone in our hearts
hearts pricked by darts
darts of poison
now we sing sad songs
sad songs of things gone wrong
the losing winner thinks the race is over
it goes on and on
until the grumpy old men
will hear and sing the words
words of the redemption songs
telling the grumpy old men to go home
