If I was President-Wyclef Jean

If I were president 

All blacks would have reparations-
no segregation, 

Feed the nation so there is no famine 

Muslims, Jews Christians 
Would all hold hands 

Every week on the beach 
Party by the sand 

Word up, take trips on Air Force One 

Only to bring homeless with no sneaks the Air Force Ones 

Better schools in the hood, better teachers for the classes 

makin' money, payin' no taxes 

Find the best scientists-tell them "come up with an answer" 

I want the cure for AIDS and Cancer.

I know elections are coming up in less than two weeks in Haiti.  You have to wonder what would happen if Wyclef was president.  Folk don't like things shaken up to much, I realize.  And many times, the old guard just isn't ready to let the new guard take over.  Usually when the guard's change it was more to relieve the old guard.  I guess the old guard ain't tired yet.  Some of them say, "I'll rest when I die," lol.  

That isn't happening just in Haiti, that's everywhere-governments, corporations, churches, families.  Guess you gotta take the spot that's given you and then blow it up.  Bloom where you are planted.  I appreciate what Wyclef is doing.  Wyclef is doing Wyclef.  They won't let him be president, he's having his own Election Day and campaign speeches through his music.  He may be effecting more change, by getting into the consciousness of people on a global stage than he could have done...bogged down with the political machine.  Power to the people!
