Truth is not truth anymore 
From LA to NY 
It seems like people have to stand up 
To show y’all what is the truth 

That immigrants are our neighbors
Not criminals like those 
That are sitting in Washington DC 
Acting as if they were doing their jobs

But don’t see their jobs 
which people have given them 
As their way to success 
As if success was defined 
by the jobs 
that gave more money and power 

Screw the founding fathers 
Screw the constitution
Screw democracy 
It is not a good system of government 

If you had to go to college
You had to finish school 
if you had to go to work 
You have to finish college
If you had to get married
You had to impress the girl

But how come 
if you had to lead the country
All you had to do
Is write in your nomination?

And whoever had more money 
Raised more funds 
Automatically translated to a win 
Then how will democracy be?

A bunch of criminals
Sitting in the White House 
Another bunch 
sitting in congress

And a fewer bunch 
sitting in Supreme Court 
Screw them all 
Screw democracy baby 

Make those who want 
to get to the White House 
To take tests 
and show they were wise 

Make those who want 
to participate in electing 
To take tests 
and show they were prudent 

Don’t just let a bunch of criminals 
Choose another bunch 
That’s not democracy
That’s illiteracy 

How do countries around the world 
Get sold on a piece of shit like this 
Shit show it is!

Poor immigrants 
Poor Palestinians 
Poor children 
Who have been going through horror
Because of people like you and me

Are you happy now ?
Yes you
I am talking to you

You who voted for democracy 
You who voted for this shit show 
You who sat down to take tests
In school and college 
and pass interviews to go to work

Are you happy now 
with how you screwed it up 
for the innocent ones 
who trusted in you?

Yes I’m talking to you only
Not MAGA
not Christians
but you
Yes you

Learn from your mistakes at least now
Make them do the homework
And the schoolwork 
And take the tests
And pass interviews 
To prove their worth

Not just the ones who stand in an election 
But also the ones who want to cast their vote as well
Make them do their homework 
Don’t just give them power

And then sit back and shake your head 
That this situation happened
It’s all your fault
As it is mine 

So let’s learn from this 
And grow into a better wiser nation 
That focuses on its well being
And those of its neighbors 

Than on oil 
and money 
and quick rich schemes 
and what not 

Learn 
Sow
Reap
Then enjoy the benefits

Do it the right way 
Don’t just give power 
to those who don’t know 
what it means 
to take the time 
and prepare to understand 
who they are voting for

Don’t give voting rights 
to those who are 
standing on the street 
without knowledge 
or interest 
in taking that effort 

Make them take their test 
And give them the power 
only when they prove their worth 
Do it right
Otherwise forever hold your breath 

No Peace ✌🏽
