House Vote From Hell

'Words are my oxygen, I breathe to live'


Reason took a break today
Just long enough for evil to sway

The vote in question protected you 
From keeping groundwater a slimy blue

Fracture away the house did say
Profits trump sanity, bribery belay

Tho elected to serve, me and you
Majority laughed, now drink from the loo!

"See, we can fix the elections, glory be!
To those who hold power, money is free!"

Corruption runs wild in this fair land
Globalist run congress with a heavy hand

No one will notice, 'till the water spews
From your hoses in flames, devils dues

By then the handwringers; will line up
Asking tough questions, bank acc'ts plump

Paul Revere rides! the people are awake!
Sound alarms to your friends, or attend 
their wake...
