I am finally awake and fully aware.

Half of this country has proved they don’t care,

about human rights or the freedom of others.

They don’t give a shit about daughters and mothers,

or black and brown people, or LGBTQ.

Not feeling our pain? You’ll feel it soon.

When a country guts freedom and half lose their rights,

the wound will be fatal. No rights will survive.

My mind was numb with hopium. I wanted to believe,

that we’d keep moving forward, the next day we’d be relieved.

But as I stood in line to vote my gut began to know,

that once again we’d have to watch another fascist show.

We know the players very well, we’ve seen them all for years.

The Antichrist, Apprentices, the cult, brainwashed with fear.

Just like their bible told them, they would feast upon his lies.

As they project their evil, it’s themselves they all despise.

So I’ve given up my hopium, I’m choosing now to see.

For now, I’ve done all I can do to stop the evil Beast.

They prayed for Armageddon to destroy their devil’s spawn.

So I’ll sit back and watch them fight themselves until they’re gone.
