“Political Plays”
Unconditional! It is right! We’ve heard.
Both sides acting asinine and absurd!
Evidence possibly doctored and forged.
A family’s life now, tattered and scourged.
This is the way it should always be done!
Who cares of the lies; control is more fun!
“Sorry your lives mean so very little”.
Preferring laymen, caught in the middle!
Political vendettas play both sides.
Innocent men financially lose hides.
“Under the rules you may have right to speak.
But if not aligned, we’ll make you look weak.”
Desperate attempts for government control.
Independence removed, leaching every soul.
Families starve while they argue on high.
“Give them their freedom, or set it aside?”
Branching crusades; not bridling their lust.
Whatever happened to, “In God we trust!”?
“We just want to work! Take care of our babes!”
“No interest in being political slaves!”
Farmers work hard, and so do the teachers.
Families lose trust in even their preachers!
When there’s crap at the top, working on down.
The pauper endures the weighted brown-crown.
What does it take, in protecting us all?
Not a wall by Trump, but on Capitol?
One made of lies, protecting the elite?
The rest to despise, rise up and defeat?
“You cannot remove our free rights to speak.
We reject you thinking, that we are weak!
We challenge you’re lies the falsehoods you preach.
Our children’s history, in truth we’ll teach!”
Manipulating crap and slanderous lies.
All created on high, for their disguise
Power and control they want over you.
Shifting reality; making false true.
