“What difference does it make?!” demanded Hilly of Johnson
Uttering the tragic words that rang across the room into the hearts of all Americans
What difference does it make indeed
Four American heroes are dead and the hearts of their families still bleed
What difference does it make
Whether Americans vote or eat government cake
What difference does it make if people must use healthcare that kills
As long as the government can tell you how to pay the insurance bills
What difference does it make to crucify Christ again
There are plenty of trees to hug and earth to freeze all in vain
What difference does it make if innocent children are dead
A crisis must not be wasted but used to squash the rights of Americans under the guise of moving ahead
What difference does it make if they trample the Constitution all over
So long, as the liberals have hope to give it a new makeover
What difference does it make that women head to the front lines while men remain behind
As long as we go forward and change the course of humankind
What difference does it make that our children forget their history
Even as the politicians in Washington remain obscure to our misery
What difference does it make that our enemies scoff and laugh at us
So long as we can help them and negotiate our future with the one who is most preposterous
What difference does it make when the economy collapses
Hope and change will still have moved the masses
“What difference does it make?” you say?
It makes a big difference to me and to all those who still believe in the USA.
