To everyone's discombobulation,
anarchy and pain
are given free rein.
Liberty is losing its foundation;
from Russia's attack,
Ukraine's pushing back.
Every government official seems corrupt,
deep pocketed lobbyists pay to disrupt.
Liberty is stumbling!
Global warming gets touted as fake news.
Oceans are rising
that's not surprising;
ecologists seek help; the rich refuse.
Money is their king,
Nature's their plaything.
Big business steals a generation's dreams,
promising paradise while polluting streams.
Liberty is stumbling!
The crazies are taking total control,
creating weird cults
in which hate exults
without opposition; we've sold our souls.
We wear a blindfold;
and do what we're told.
Republican fascists are fueling fears;
democracy holds no more value than tears.
White cops shoot black youths and then go out for beers.
Liberty is stumbling,
its foundation crumbling.
