IN THE END

Corporate tax and tariffs
Vendettas off the wall
Anger, rage and hatred
And, there’s no one to call.

Poor judgement, miscalculations
Promises, purely threats
Focused on corporations
In the end…. there’s nothing left. 

The sheep will blindly follow
Little knowledge of world events
The majority in the government
Taken over by extremists.

Low information voters 
Can’t see the larger picture
All they know is their grocery bill
Has gotten somewhat bigger. 

They don’t know the major players
The Constitution or Rule of Law
They back the cruel and hateful
Wanting them to build the wall.

Bitterness and opposition
Celebrating open defiance
Their anger misdirected
No regard for meds or Science.

Promoting fear of vaccinations
Denying Climate Change
Rooting for the insurrectionists 
For them…. this is a game.

Our country, slowly in decline
Our rights in jeopardy
If he gets to have his way
We’ll see the end of democracy.
