“Judas’s copped; those spineless pervs
And, my paranoia just got stronger
I cannot even trust my lying words
To hide my crimes any longer
But, I’m warning you all, if I’m impeached
Your wealth I provided, goes straight to poor
Wall Street is sunk, if your albatross beached
And, you’re all going down with my ship, for sure”
………………………………………………………………….
Whoa, America… this is your intervention
Overdosing Trump, we need rehab
Indulging abstention, seeking redemption
Retrieving our conscience, once honorably had
Our president of these United States
Must lead all citizens, forward together
Embodying democracy’s signature traits
Liberty and justice, for all…forever
His presidential pledge imperative:
Keep us truthfully enlightened
But, this sociopath jacked our narrative
With purposeful lies, designed to frighten
Man’s primal fear feeds upon lying
The core depravity of Trump brainwashing
Disoriented minds, no longer trying
See no choice, but reality flushing
Truth is no longer our priority
Facts are no longer reliable
Misperception has claimed reality
Deception is holding us liable
Fools… we’ve ceded his ego, control
Of democracy’s inalienable truths
Letting(t) his sleaze kill America’s soul
We’re his accomplices…to our abuse
Why stay in this abusive relationship?
It’s easier to play hypocrite-masochist
Smugly censuring his dictatorship
Recreationally, drugged on his narcissist
Of course, his posse rides with his fraud
After all, they voted an amoral assassin
A sinner pardoned by (their) expedient god
To righteously rouse their homeland… “attackin”
But, what about us? Wasted, subverting
Blithely ignoring our moral indifference
Trivializing ideals, America perverting
A perfect petri dish, for Trump deliverance
We couldn’t fathom, how he got elected
This thug so ethically, humanly disabled
Bitching and moaning… dazed, dejected
We wouldn’t admit, it was we who enabled
Trump and cowards mute our free press
Rendering impotent “enemy of the people”
Stifling journalists…refusing access
Scared we’ll unmask his intentions illegal
……………………………………………………….
Yet, I too have… my pet pundit pros
Pitching me, their predisposed buzz
Telling me what, and, how I need know
Dissolving my insight into dopamine fuzz
So, who’s to say, that I’ve truth discerned?
Swayed by endorsed misdirection
When I only arm my prejudice affirmed
I’m aborting “real” facts, by my contraception
The truth is…we don’t want the truth!!
We want (our) confirmation biased
If your opinion is one I approve
It’s enough to keep my honesty quiet
America, we fight a losing crusade
Believing (our) honor’s, antidote enough
His willful destructive psychotics displayed
Confound our sanity, till we give up
We’re always one step behind his lies
Even, as …we credibly refute
Forever chasing, falsehoods he plies
He stills gets away with lethal untruth
For sure, by now, integrity’s worn tired
Fighting his absurd, unconscionable war
As decency loses to fallacy conspired
America falls from esteemed to abhorred
Lying, you see, is slaying of innocence
Lying deliberate: psychological warfare
Lying, the reflex of insecure ignorance
Lying to the face of our oath he forswears
Brains unhinged by perpetual lying
Abandon truth, no longer certain
Till the mind vacates…all thought verifying
And, rationality closes, its final curtain
Lying dis-integrates the cerebral cortex
Appropriating exposed amygdala
Losing ourselves in foreboding’s vortex
We’re “Stockholmed” captives of his cabala
Trigger man Trump has only to tweet
His mob enflamed, by outrageous lying
Outing their hate, rewarding his deceit disbursing
Too lit to doubt, it’s echo they’re buying
But, America’s been peddling, snake oil for years
Witness our embellished, sham advertising
Hawking false hope to exaggerated fears
Tolerating lies as legit enterprising
In fact, let’s assert, we are all junkies
Hooked on escape, faking it’s pleasure
Trump medicates…our everyday “funkies”
Our daily diversion, to tranquilize pressure
Afraid to deal truth, in love with our fictions
We spend more life in our alt universe
Faux social media, fantasy depictions
Posting lived lies, without getting hurt
If lying to each other is baldly acceptable
Lying to myself… is shamefully routine
And, when U. S. of A., makes lying electable
We’ve democratized… our lying machine
For counterfeit country, why not a lie leader?
Electoral archaic… defaulted a chump
Hoodwinked the world, launched our deceiver
But, the real joke is us… America, trumped
Our culture castrated, emasculates reason
Mistrust, trusted…dishonor, honored
And, our president…a mouthpiece of treason
Is making America’s fate… to be self-conquered
Putin and henchmen play Trump the fool
(S)electing him knowing he’ll further divide us
Extorters have taken us to (hacking) school
Till, we wind up, (the) enemies who fight us
He is our cancer, our malignant creation
His party septic…our communicable disease
Vile from their mouths, our viral contagion
Yet, we dare cry foul in mock disbelief?
It’s horror enough, we’ve duped our nation
How do we excuse aiding evil to spread?
We seem resigned to our vile situation
How long do we wait till democracy is dead?
How long do we stomach normalized lying?
Expected, accepted, immoral assault
Have we given up, our responsible trying?
Nothing will change till we claim our fault
Not Mueller, not God, can fully redress
With rest of us stalled… neutered, pinioned
Trump now effectively controls our press
While ruling his court of public opinion
Do you not see… we don’t win (t)his fight?
Honesty can’t compete with imposed innuendo
They only care, (that)their wrong is all right
As we’re being played in their game of “intendo”
We don’t know how addicted we are
We just won’t stop, hating our differences
Though tribally feuding, was common to spar
America’s imploding, stoking our dissonance
The only way, we’re democracy’s savior
Is to take charge… of our own addiction
Instantly stop co-dependent behavior
Commit to detoxing our Trump affliction
What would it take to tune out obsession?
Can we make it a day without tuning him in?
Are we so fixated on his latest transgression?
We can’t wait to be…his next great sin
But, what if I went, cold turkey, today?
What would my well-being… really be missing?
Do I need another shot of being betrayed?
By the pimp and his whores, I’m hooked to, dissing
What if we turn off our electronic chorus
What would his sycophants, tweet to themselves?
When the proverbial tree…falls in the forest
What kind of noise can it make by itself?
What if (you), frayed media… choose to opt
To simply not show, at Sarah’s next show
How would she do in bed with her Fox
Alone with their lies, nowhere to go
No more Times and Post, editorials
Rehabbing our addictive anxiety
With us all discharged from “conspiratorials”
What would this do for American sobriety?
…………………………………………………………………….
Betrayed by honesty of dishonest allies
Donald goes Fox…to outlaw flipping?
No! Outlaw the outlaw, and his barefaced lies
Jail his mob and their brash double dipping
With Manafort and Cohen plainly illegal
Maybe his lies finally take him down?
But even if America purges his evil
Iniquity’s still chief…cause WE’RE still around
