Born in the shadows of graves.
Dug for the victims of War or
the bodies of negligent poverty labeled as either essential or brave

We had to watch them lay ol’ Lady Liberty down on the lathe.
Shave all her salient features away.
We like our women condemned,
We like our women contained,
We like our platitudes flaccid and vague,
We like to deify people objectively late for The Hague.

We like our senators boneless,
Cause we’ve only elected the spineless

Who all lack backbone,
and possibly teeth
Cause they don’t bite back,
And they don’t speak up
They resign like sheep into silence.

I don’t have much hope when the meek all inherit the planet, cause they fumbled the house, and the senate, and handed the reigns to the people they spent 4 years all proclaiming as baseless, corrupted upholders of bigotry, leeching our taxes like bandits

But ALL OF OUR LEADERS ARE WEARING THAT STANDARD

All of them work for the global purveyor of violence, pollution, genocide, bias, fascism, child starvation through sanction, cultural cleansing, and propaganda

Black Mariah
White Miranda
The streets crescendo
The fascists answer

Any donation you give them is feeding the cancer

Bloating their egos so they can come dangle the carrot, promise you 2 grand, and hold it for ransom.

Like we should fall all over ourselves
When the squad tweets.

Lick the squads boots,
Kiss the squads feet.

They ask:

“What would the money we promised you months ago actually MEAN.”

“What would a one-time check to pay part of your rent and allow you to eat for a week mean to you and your family of three?”

“Tell us you need it”

Tell us you want it SO BAD.

We can’t heaaaaaaar yooouuuu.

“Tell us how thankful you are for the Squad, cause we’re all that you have”

Tell us how grateful you are that we watered the bill down to please the republicans, KNOWING their votes weren’t needed to see that it passed!

That’s called Unity.

When your overlords can get along peacefully, and agree on the most cost effective way to starve American families to death, discreetly kill off the disabled, and slaughter people of color with impunity in broad daylight.

That’s what they mean by ‘Unity’.

That’s what they want us to be fucking THANKFUL for.
