Severing of ties with our allies.
Court orders blatantly defied.
Plans to privatize, those federal
agencies now downsized..
Green card holders traumatized..
A thousand cuts.
A thousand bleeds.
Our wounded democracy falls
to it's knees,,
Lawyers and judges receive death threats.
Freedom of speech being suppressed.
Deportation with out due process.
Defunding colleges and PBS..
A thousand cuts.
A thousand bleeds.
Our democracy hemorrhages.
Our rights recede, as we
sleep walk into Autocracy...
Privatize
Private I's
Private Eyes
It was a Hall & Oates Song
Inner party gives sanctuary:
Where lives are bought and sold en masse
And profit is viewed as the
One true gift to bestow
Upon a quiet
Unsuspecting
Populace
Valued
Cheap
