maga madness
By Alice Lovelace
this is for all the dicks in charge
from neutron trump to other dicks-at-large
for dicks who dream and lurk and scheme
to revive that tired old rebel dream
a new day capitalist’s world market intimidation
an old-world kind of a new great nation.
and in charge of this white supremacist fantasy
the head bullshitters rack up causalities
followers feed on doomsday tales of tribulations
upsetting delicate human relations
so, you working class, blue collar, in the middle or poor
woke up one day found yourself the republican’s whore
each lie each outrage each insult each scream
a clue to the reality of their amerikan dream.
but we knew they were showering us with peepee nonsense
when they declared COVID over and cancelled social benefits
cut health care, science programs put billionaires in charge
while cabinet workers fly first class living it large
a kind of government welfare for the ruling elites
who feast on migrant babies with delight and glee
demand that we bow to a white christian nation
confuse foreign policy with family wealth creation.
scientists say there will come a day when you can’t tell shit by the smell of it when politicians spy in our bedrooms and schools
treat us like demons, and unpatriotic too.
bragging about jobs then stealing wages
use our youth for target practice to fill coffins and cages
we are governed by convicts, the soulless, and Nazis
ordered to stand and salute the death of our democracy
while pensions disappear into stock holders’ pockets
corporations are rewarded billions in tax dollars
and teacher get low wages and a bureaucratic shock collar
yanking education like a hambone treat
bullied by republicans and the ruling elites
children don’t expect healthcare or education
new amerikkka schools them in early death expectations.
this is the poem that never ends
cause the trumpiness goes on and on my friend
reward the wealthy punish the poor
rinse and repeat kick their asses some more.
a nation at war with 70 percent of the planet
permission to shoot and kill granted
the future they fear is the present we live in
we are a nation of mixed races and the nations getting queerer.
each stollen election story
every tweet and tarradiddle
the media all media dance to their fiddle.
and none of this stops till the left stands strong
ring out our message a unity song—stand by our belief
“we all belong” declare on the streets those who create wealth deserve to eat from the tree of democracy.
cause scientists say there will come a day when we can’t tell shit by the smell of it. When they steal our vote, flood the streets with guns and victims’ bones turn churches and schools into combat kill zones
We know what do
we can do it again.
Commit to the long game
stay engaged till we win!
