Political Incorrectness
Politicians play upon our fears and dreams.
They lie to us with pretty promises,
tied up in ribbons and bows, but when opened,
they are found empty.
They promise prosperity,
as our country sinks in debt.
They promise freedom,
as they rip it away beneath our noses.
They promise safety,
while conspiring with the enemy.
They lead and we follow,
like lambs to the slaughter.
It's time to say "ENOUGH!"
We sheep must become lions,
and let our roars be heard!
Let these unconscionable liars know,
that we have awakened from our
mind-numbed stupor.
We will no longer be gullible children
believing every word.
Wake up people!
Take off the blinders!
We have been deceived!
We have been led astray!
And they must be held accountable.
