Republican Discourse
Republican Discourse
Decent jobs allowed to go leaving us bereft
With Walmart or McDonald labor only left.
Livelihoods now in doubt
As the middle class hollows out.
Bridges and roads allowed to fall apart;
Public schools attacked, even head start.
Anything involving the public good
Is not to be funded, that is understood.
Republicans allow taxes to be unchecked
And severely cut to protect
Corporations and the one percent
Who cannot even spare this Nation one cent.
What do Republicans say
As they allow our Nation fall to decay?
This country will only be strong
If laws say which restroom we belong.
