Listlessness plus Apathy Equals Disaster

our movement's become listless
too many people have missed this
the clenching of our fists
buckle up now because I'm pissed
an incredulous narcissist
whose prejudice was so obvious
with which he never digressed
in fact, he won with this

disturbing is the apathy
I'm seeing all around me
securing their victory
even freedom has a fee
they're getting ours for free
don't take this so lightly
prosecute this robbery
without an apology

their motives are ugly
it's white supremecy
it's manifest destiny
using national security
to obscure their agenda
it's perpetual propaganda
using cliff notes from Russia
they made sanity a pariah

he kept saying, "the system's rigged"
he kept calling her "crooked"
his loyals are hooded
their motives are lurid
yet majorly supported
amongst the most putrid
the results will be horrid

with conflicts of interest
he's growing his business
without any laws to stop this
they put the shame in shameless
both the senate and congress
ensure a smooth process
with rolling back all our progress
leaving behind an enormous mess

assuming there's anything left
by this conman who's very deft
in all aspects of white collar theft
I wouldn't hold my breath
