It’s hard to see the picture if you don’t open up your eyes

When you listen hard enough you often get a big surprise

It’s hard to hear what other say if your mouth is in motion

And you don’t believe the rumors about the Arctic Ocean

So now we know listening can lead to a reevaluation

That’s a rule should be applied to leaders of our nation

Paying more attention you might find you are often wrong

Even if the other persons name is Mary or Jose or Chong

If you are always tweeting then it can’t all be fake news

And your opinions and rants are daily page one reviews

If those in the circle disagree and are fired or demoted

The ones who once hated in fright turn and become devoted

There are many who agree we need a slight turn to the right

It would have been done a little kinder by dear old Dwight

Wall Street is lapping up their major surprising stock upturn

But only the rich are getting richer a cause of major concern

The poor and destitute will always be and the middle class

Compared to the super rich the other three are lame contrasts

Eisenhower Churchill Kennedy Nixon and Charles De Gaulle

Were not in favor of building but in tearing down an evil wall
