The U.S. is circling the drain
the foreseeable future is all pain
founding values trampled down
leaders think they wear a crown

History erased without fail
all of them should go to jail
cops attacked for being one
looters rewarded, cannot stun

Because you might infringe their rights
even though they burn their city at night
illegals favored all of the time
criminals, when they crossed the line

The media lies as it creates
the evening news to suit its taste
the President rules through pen and phone
congress, just watches, leaves him alone

The Taxpayers though are under attack
most of their paycheck is taken back
to fund the ones who do not work
and secret projects in the murk

Around and around the drain we go
the final flush comes, but when we do not know
where the dreaded tube may lead
it is likely all will bleed

In the turmoil of the new
let’s hope it’s better than the stew
that we are in currently boiling in now
but some will take a solemn vow

To return the constitution to its place
and hopefully we win the race.
