'Words are my oxygen, I breathe to live'
Reason took a break today
Just long enough for evil to sway
The vote in question protected you
From keeping groundwater a slimy blue
Fracture away the house did say
Profits trump sanity, bribery belay
Tho elected to serve, me and you
Majority laughed, now drink from the loo!
"See, we can fix the elections, glory be!
To those who hold power, money is free!"
Corruption runs wild in this fair land
Globalist run congress with a heavy hand
No one will notice, 'till the water spews
From your hoses in flames, devils dues
By then the handwringers; will line up
Asking tough questions, bank acc'ts plump
Paul Revere rides! the people are awake!
Sound alarms to your friends, or attend
their wake...
