Peep the Instagram filter beaming through democracy’s cracks
In the streets we’ll learn to fly until we take our ladders back

He’s shredding rights like that
This neophyte like that
In the dead of night like that
Sound jurisprudence
Such a nuisance
When banning acolytes like that

#resist the lies, #resist the fear, #resist the megalomaniac
#resist the slow drift asunder into darkness’ frigid black

He’s building walls like that
Yep, tiny balls like that
When self-determination falls like that
Original position
Inquisition and derision
Of John Rawls like that

#resist the lies, #resist the fear, #resist the megalomaniac
#resist the slow drift asunder into darkness’ frigid black

He’s pussy grabbing like that
Bravado bragging like that
Appearance bashing like that
Sexual harassment
Lawsuit amassment
Indecent and morality lacking like that

#resist the lies, #resist the fear, #resist the megalomaniac
#resist the slow drift asunder into darkness’ frigid black

He’s not divesting like that
Still empire questing like that
Influence coalescing like that
White House, Inc.
Backing up the Brink
Ceaseless greed manifesting like that

#resist the lies, #resist the fear, #resist the megalomaniac
#resist the slow drift asunder into darkness’ frigid black

He’s racism stoking like that
White nationalism provoking like that
Got these Nazis gloating like that
When division and hate
Propagate to make America great
+++++again
++++++++++fascism
His power we’ll be revoking like that

Peep the Instagram filter beaming through democracy’s cracks
In the streets we’ll learn to fly until we take our ladders back
