Now darkness and tribulation
have us in a deadly hold;
Devious plots of the powerful
are continuing to unfold
I've seen the hatred and lies released
as the poisoned arrows fly,
aimed at the poor and the vulnerable . . .
I've watched the wounded cry
As long as these lies and hatred reign,
you're going to hear from me;
I can't condone nor tolerate
this deluge of bigotry
Housing is unaffordable --
too many living in the street;
Why do the wealthy get to decide
who will starve and who gets to eat?
As the country writhes in turmoil
Anarchy is clanging the gate;
Democracy is a dying dream!
Wake up before it's too late
Did Francis Bellamy envision this
when he bravely answered the call
to write the Pledge of Allegiance,
vowing liberty and justice for all?
If the Flame of Justice burns in you
as a sense of duty and a right,
Voice your protests, let your light shine . . .
united we'll prevail in this fight!

I can't take much more of the lies, hatred, fraud, cheating, and crimes committed by this government. The evil is spreading through our country like a cancer.
