when the world speaks but is not heard
when the laws tend to benefit the few
when the wealthy hoard and the poor are forgotten
when there's ruin and yet none are called to task
when the court decides the outcome of the vote
when the land of the free is enslaved by fear
what is this?
when it's hard to find a decent way to live
when innocents are jailed while the big fish are bailed
and as the object is to win - so the future darkly dims
when our leaders will not serve the common good
and they wrongly send the nation into war
when the only color choice is red or blue
what is this?
this is not democracy
