The World We Live in Today

I am compassionate and conscientious 
I wonder why people are filled with such hatred 
I hear the roar of a dragon 
I see dragons everywhere 
I want to experience peace 
I am compassionate and conscientious. 

I pretend I am president 
I feel the scales of a dragon 
I worry about the tariffs 
I cry for the unprivileged 
I am compassionate and conscientious. 

I understand people love the current president 
I say open your eyes and see what's going on 
I dream for respect within all parties 
I try and inform people about the news 
I hope they listen one day 
I am compassionate and conscientious.
