 They don’t give two shits 
 I think they just don’t realize they need to give two shits yet 
 Politicians don't work for voters. 

Never have. 
 Voters messed up by not participating in civic activities. I could argue that many are unable to do so because:

1. big wealth dumbing down USA populous.

Anyway … again …

WWII sent off boys from the farm. 
Lucky men came home 
Many were heartbroken 
Fractured souls & altered minds
Attempted to claim their peace 
Of the American dream
Honoring their fallen friends & respect 
Back to school they went
Educated now birthed the middle class

But wait! Political interests 
Quickly engaged by the bags of money 
Force fed by marketing 
They can’t take **our** money 
Peasants can’t hold status 
Wealthy lived in privilege 
They didn’t want only their income
Sought to destroy others 
How to do so they asked? 
Nixon

     Reagan- Nom- Icks 
Manipulating others to hate Ebonics 
     Dose them with sugar water 
anti-union laws pushed 
     The poor are lesser humans 
Take away their pensions 
      Less educated masses 
Wealth force-fed the regulations 
      Dumb, deaf or blind 🇺🇸 stayed 
Going to church on Sunday 
    And more loose taxes for the power 
But God only knows the hour 😂
     Hypocrisy!!!

USA unaware of 
Evil pulling the strings. 
Peacemakers spoke 
As always 
Powerfully silenced. 

Then the - isms
Keep the pawns fighting amongst theirselves 
Religion, class, race and sex
Divided caste chattel is US society
We’ve bought into “freedom” ideology 
“Let them eat fast food.”
We ignore or berate those unlike us. 
This keeps us constantly wrestling 
 💩💩
