Trumps America

Chocking down sugar
From the hands of a broken system
Slitting my wrist 
In a vain existential tryst 

Painting skies of rust
Watching as America crumbles to dust
The religious are the worst
The holy are a joke 

Poking politicians with a sharpened stick 
Rocking the boat 
Pouring buckets of water over the faces of the blind
Screaming at the top of my lungs to no avail 

America is doomed or so it seems
Only a matter of time 
You say I'm a criminal 
What's my crime?
