Affairs of State

Once again, for a second time in recent history, we're
    Living through a master class of deception and fraud.
Where the powerful usurp their greed and influence,
    While underneath an umbrella of a distant God.

We're all witness to a false narrative by distraction,
    While the MAGAngsters spread their message and fear.
As their recent history shows little loyalty to human rights,
    But rather towards chaos and what they can commandeer.

Seeing this should ignite a fire among anyone,
    That cares about a democracy and its decree.
Because they are watching it being diminished,
    One stone at a time while they are still free.

The shocking part of this demolition, is that it's
    Not hidden behind a veil of darkness or secrecy.
Rather it's been voiced loudly amongst the masses,
    Although with false guilt, applied to the conspiracy.

It's been a multi-pronged attack in the open,
    Designed to divert and divide, as well as completely confuse.
As it hopes to overwhelm any defenses, while
    Assigning new blame to those it can accuse.

There's only one way to confront this issue,
    And it relies on interaction and one's voice.
Where the people must be aware of the politics,
    And critically contest by their voting choice.

This needs to be addressed, not tomorrow, but
    Today, because folks, it's happening right now.
Where if the people fail with their critique in silence,
    We might be answering in the future to Moscow.
