Animals

It was a party of fleas who dropped some tea into the sea 
Created a baby that left its mommy
Now there is an elephant and donkey in the room
So, lets asked who’s the bigger ***?
A spark, a flare, lighting a camel, an affair
Puff of smoke gone, what went wrong?
Bully the pulpit, who’s the culprit  
Line drawn and divided by two
A state of iron bars but let’s call it a zoo  
Divided into a system of them vs you 
Don’t lose your autonomy 
Though everyone is still just a monkey
Collectively a swarm of angry bee’s 
The brilliants of hatred and judgment 
The embellishment establishment pageant
Yesteryear's of days past are today's fears 
Financiers, volunteers as November nears 
Comparisons, divisions of wealth’s occupations
Frictions, contradictions, comedians 
Who will be the next king of the jungle?
Both proclaiming to be the blissful angel 
Tis the mating seasons bestial battle
Birdies tweets all about it on the their social 
Scandal! Scoundrel! Oh, look there’s a squirrel
The eternal feral quarrel circle 
The apex creatures are very territorial 
For the king or queen, gerrymandering 
The two-party system is the grand pyramid scheme
Bunch of ***holes looking up and bunch of **** looking down 
Kiss up, gallop, gossip, stirrup, who will win the crown?
In this cage, enrage, what’s on the front page?
Who’s saying what about minimum wage?
Outrage about an issue? The cockatoos will throw a horseshoe
Here, eat this grass, here, pray at mass, or don’t
They will provide an antidote
Cheer, this one is such a deer, so sincere, so clear
Ok, the political evolution will find a way to prey on the economic roadway
Confusing rat race values, turn to the news and find out who will lose
Here, oats for the goats. No, the grass is greener over there
But be aware because there is a monster troll lair 
Despair not of this nightmare, the election will swear to another road     
The only condition for this prince is you must kiss this toad
Bam, the payload full of taxes and other critter’s pensions 
Hurry up and cooked this eagle thanksgiving is awaiting  
Tis the season for the hating, frustrating, debating, 
Won, the elephants and donkeys parties are one hell of celebration 
After-all in this zoo, the keepers and guests are laughing at you
