The streets became the targets
targeted by meaner men
and women too,
in march across the capital
making capital of
circumstance.
Which would dance around the pole now that May has gone?
who are these devils in disguise who seek to tell the ignorant and uninterested lies
and lies they tell
that sell their ideology
to you
not me
for I can see them in the power zone if what they want to call their home
but home for them will never be
the homeland of democracy.
People see it every day attacks against the homeless,gay and any other sort whose parents once set sail from some distant sunlit port to find a better way
and life would only have it
that these devils want to take a bit away from them
these meaner men and women too
would take it all away from you
so watch your back
they don't care when
or how they attack
but it's usually in packs like cowards do.
I'm watching them
are you?
