False Security

False security

Fanaticism disguised

In propaganda

Confirming the masses fears

They so skillfully crafted

Honor Among Thieves

Honor among thieves

Missing from our politics

The lies keep coming

Look What I’ve Become

Look what I’ve become

Politics made me rigid

Intolerant me

~

Opposing views annoy me

Bringing out my darker side

~

And I have to say

I don’t like it one little bit

It disappoints me

Bitterest Of Pills

Bitterest of pills

I swallowed without consent

And now I’m choking.

 

With every day that passes

I pray for civility

Only to suffer

The pains of disappointment.

 

Will I ever learn…

I doubt that I ever will,

But there’s no harm in hoping.

 

Trying to temper

My passion for politics,

Where lies don’t matter,

Compassion signals weakness

And right and left never meet.

Criminializing

Criminalizing

Through state-sanctioned prejudice

“Gay” is not a crime

~

A nation in regression

Will be ravaged from within

His Dizzying Array Of Nonsense

His dizzying array of nonsense boggles the mind

While apologists stutter excuses.

The dark underbelly of society cheers

Like rabid dogs dancing insanely in the streets.

Violence abounds though he denies its existence

Even while celluloid, coated in pepper spray stifles their lies.

He misspoke, He was taken out of context

Are the excuses of today as women are marched to prison.

Discussions of personal responsibility

Do not apply to this “Teflon Don”.

He speaks his ugly mind

Letting consequences fall where they may.

He didn’t start it, the other guy did

Showing that even spouses aren’t safe.

A schoolyard bully in a custom tailored suit

Wants to rule your roost,

And you are willing to blindly let him.

It matters not whether he is of substance,

It only matters that he speaks exactly what you think.

Killing With Kindness

Killing with kindness

Not the preference of some

Bombs are more deadly

~

Why promote diplomacy

When weapons of war exist

Symbol Of Greatness

Symbol of greatness

Tarnished by greed and hatred.

A once proud people

Sinks deeper into ruin

While wearing a clueless stare.

They would be appalled

If only they were conscious,

But alas they aren’t

Choosing instead to live lies

Propagandized by tyrants.

Ambiguity

The lifeblood of politics

Flipping and flopping

Gates Of Hell Opened

Gates of Hell opened!

What lies in store for the damned

Who worship Satan?

His power grows with applause,

His insatiable ego

Thrives hearing his name.

Feeding off the ignorance

Of the cheering hordes

He spews hate with a smile

Leaving fans drooling for more.
