Political Slam

In the modern age
Of canvassing 
Before Political Elections 
Isn't it funny ?
How threat's seem to happen 
To National Security
So strength and leadership can be 
Viewed and manipulated 
Into placing your X in a Box
Like a cunning fox
You had me at Scared
The groundwork has been prepared 
For total submission 
Unequivocally without reason 
It's hunting season 
And the masses are the target 
Are. you a patriot
Hail the all conquering Leader
Are you a true believer 
Are you willing to put hate before love
Because you have been provoked to
Are we sheep 
Do we bleat 
Or do we speak
The voice of 1
Or can we overcome 
Or are we valued less
Than gas and oil
And paper money
And conned into propping up it
