Never too Blind to See Reality

my eyesight’s getting more blurry

everyday but I don’t worry

I'm, still, able to see too many

fraudulent fakes who don't have any

love for people who have a clue

about the atrocities that they do

and every lie they will use

to keep all progress off the news

I can’t stand listening to ignorance

Forest Gump had a better chance

at comprehending economics
than any of these redneck pricks
who create problems they can't fix 

let's take them all out to the sticks

line them up along the border

while they’re gone we’ll restore order

when they try to build their wall

we’ll find replacements for them all

when they're returning to D.C.

we’ll call homeland security

ship them off to Guantanamo Bay

their own policies ensure they’ll stay

I hope that by twenty-sixteen

all the inequalities that I've seen

will be nothing more than folklore

there’ll be no reason for a class war

no more violating rights and liberties

no more troops being sent overseas

my eyesight gets worse every day

I don't need eyes in order to pray
for humanity to have more humanity
I'll fix my eyes when the truth is pretty
my whole life the truth's been ugly
and these idiots keep acting smugly
like Fox News when they tell stories
they think that killing will bring us glory
a huge storm of lies that keeps pouring
because the truth is, just, so boring
with a president who has integrity,
intelligence, resolve and dignity
it infuriates everyone who's ignorant
manipulated by the one percent
it's good their voters are dying off
we, the liberals, are smart not soft
they hate anyone who is different
claiming "Jesus" makes them do it
my eyesight might be getting worse
but the words I speak are a curse
to all of the greedy, fake haters
who will, soon, be facing their maker
