Come On, America

Soft and sweet
 pour on the summer heat, the lies on repeat
 America is in the oncoming storm,
truth and lie, the angst within
 you know who really did the election win.

Surely not the voice of people in the majority
 recount, remove and deny minority
 when it doesn't go your way
who is behind the perpetuation of this lie in play
 and where does the future of democracy lay?

Come on America, Democrat and republican
 aren't you better than this frontman -
 how much truth are you willing to risk,
take a step back, review the constitutional pitch
 find your way in common sense
 enlighten yourselves with truth, the only defense.
