Keith Dovoric Poet Political Verse

Fair Game

So many times you’ve shuffled the deck,
I don’t know which card will turn up next
So many times you’ve poisoned the well,
I don’t what lies you’re going to tell

It’s not fair --
Your keepin’ us all in the dark
It’s not fair --
The snuffing out of every spark

So many times you’ve dumped your oil --
A truly dead sea and no arable soil
So many times you’ve tilted the table,
With a heart of steel you made our lives unstable

It’s not fair --
You promise renewal and repair
They’re not there, 
But to you everything is fair 
Fair game
 
Against your false visions
And lying divinations,
Let us raise up our hands
As a unified nation

So many times you questioned our minds
As though it were us and not you who is blind
So many times you’ve tilted the table,
Your heart of steel made the machine unstable

It’s not fair --
The way you shattered our promise
It’s not fair
‘Cause it’s too easy to be dishonest
