June 6 2025 Transgender Military Ban

"You may now not serve this country
Though you may be fit and kind
I tell you this quite bluntly
I will suppress your kind

Petitions and the public
Shall never hassle my laws;
Amist a starving republic
They believe me
When I tell them you are the flaws

For I've convince them all the bathrooms
Are threatening where you lurk
I've convinced them all your schools
Are full of your witching work 

So drink up; sweet deceit tastes good 
I shall convince them you are a crime
My plan has made it thus far
And continues
One sip at a time."

"So drink up; sweet deceit tastes good", what a line and absolute, spot on commentary for our society today, right or left, red or blue, conservative or liberal; the deceit is spread thick almost everywhere I look...I used to be so proud of my country...not so much anymore, I fear I am losing hope for America.

Yes, I'm afraid much of everywhere we go-- whether it be media, politicians or discussions-- is full of lies. We must do what we can and speak out against it. It is all I can do.
