Time for Change
By Josh Presson

Dear Mr. President,

I am writing this letter asking you for change, and that change is America’s problem with global warming. Being a man in your position, you have the ability to have great changes put in place. In fact, you are one of, if not the, most powerful men in the world. In your recent State of the Union Address, you only touched on the issue of global warming, and the ideas that you brought forth were vague, skirting around the issue. With all that is going on in Iraq it is easy to put global warming on the back burner. Iraq will end at some point but global warming is going to be around until we start to change our ways.

Bring our troops home

We are at
War in Iraq
What we need
Is what we lack,

Sense to pull out
And stop the slaughter,
Sense to stop the tears
And the sadness in the U.S.A.

It costs too much
To stay in this war,
Use some sense,
Give the money
To the poor

Inner city poverty and the U.S. prison system
