I should have listened

When my friends said Obama wanted to ban guns


I should have listened


When people started talking about prices going up.


I should have listened



To members of my family who told me what other news organizations outside this country were saying about us.


I should have listened


To my grocer, who told me prices were going up.


I should have listened


To the police officer who told me to get a gun to protect myself and my family.


I should have listened


When the talk radio host predicted the future, which is now happening.


I should have listened


But I am too self centered and think I know everything that matters.


I should have listened


But I know better than those crazies who are talking about the end of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.


I should have listened


When those crazy talk show hosts said that taxes were going to go up on me and everyone else.


I should have listened


When they said that Obamacare would destroy the economy.


I should have listened


So I would have a job now.


I should have listened


So I could afford to eat.


I should have listened


So my family would have a roof over their heads.







I should have listened.
