THEIR PLAN

Selfish indifference
Can lead to cruelty
Complacency, avoidance
Denial and hostility.

Fixated on your grocery bill
Ignorant and bold
Blindly following angry men
Doing as you’re told. 

Their plan …. to build an empire
Gather as much money as they can
Their focus is on billionaires
You’ll never understand.

Dismantling the government
Threatening Democracy
Assigning the unqualified
With no regard for capability.

Lining all their pockets
Focused on one race
Anxious to eliminate
Medicare to them…. a waste.

Children scared, terrified
Mothers sent away
Babies taken from their arms
All we can do is pray.

Threats to impose unwanted tariffs 
With no concern for the little guy
No one’s going to have a say
You won’t get to question why.

Once the ball starts rolling
You’ll feel sorry for yourself
Maybe admit to your mistake
But, complaining will not help.
