Dear America,
I stand here in front of you
Fearful, faithless
Pale white as your constituency
Your electoral body
Hoping you can still lend a hand
Lend a heart
Lend a fucking brain
For those who felt left behind by their democracy
For whom it'll never be the same.
This man doesn't have your interests in mind
Just his bottom line.
Not My President.
Habitual liar. Sexual predator. Fucking coward.
Don't tell me I can't use my kind of hate
To fight his fucking hate.

A Universal Right
Industry in the wrong
Capital Hill knife fight
That's been waging way too long.
When you have to decide between being well and poor
I'll save the co-pay
Dig my own grave
Here's my "DNR" on this life
But don't worry about me
You won't miss a penny
This life still ends like so many:
I'm fucking dying in a hospital bed
That'll I'll never pay off
Pass onto my wife and kids.
Abuse prescription pills so you can sleep at night
Jack the price way up on them
So you dream everything's alright.
Repeal and Replace
Such a fucking disgrace.

Treaty

You're feeling hopeless
He's signing lives away
Orders, cuts, and borders
Take us back decades.
45, I've prepared a treaty
For which you will sign
It's tweet-length, so I know you can read it
It states: "I'll Fuck Off and ...."

Digging for Coal

Blackened Lungs
Rising Tides
Corpse of industry
Worth more dead than alive.
Crushing Weight
Fueled by one side
Wrought with ignorance
The world can no longer abide.
Glacial collapse
No ability to adapt
Hearts Darker than the coal
You're still digging for.
Hurricane force
Knocks down your door
The flood's on your hands this time
Your "God" won't keep you alive.
What price do we have to pay
To protect the namesake, U-S-of A?
Old Glory's soul's been sold.
Like an oil slick down the river
Existence goes...
And goes.
