If I was Presidente... Contest Winner 

If I was presidente I would have so many thoughts. My mind so full of questions, the secrets that I've sought. I wouldn't change the china, or paint the white house red. I'd need a guide to show me the way to my new bed. You see I have no answers on how to run the world. I really live a simple life, a truly country girl. Yet I have raised a family. I know what true love is. Deep inside this heart of mine I have so much to give. I'd tell the world the stories of heroes that I know. The heritage that built this land, the tales of long ago. My grandma crossed the prairie in a cover wagon. My father flew in world war two and didn't come home bragg'n My Mother was a chemist despite the men whose bitch'n told her to go home to cook in her 1940's kitchen. Maybe that's the answer. To tell the world our stories. Each family has a message, a history with glory. We have laughter, pain and joy coloring  our lives. We understand the anguish when a loved one dies. Black and white, rich or poor, we all breathe the same air. Freedom sets our goals up high, Compassion we can share. How sadly some don't think the same, they use religion's cover. They use their hate to kill a man not thinking of his mother. So we must keep our soldiers strong, protecting what we built here. We can't show weakness to the world. We can not bow to fear. Mother's of the world all know we want our children living. The flag in every nation should bear the word "Forgiving." I may not be elected or run for president but I can tell you I would make a truly great consultant. Peace.
