We finally did it.

We finally did it,
elected a reality-TV caricature.
I knew those shows were bad news.

We finally did it,
elected a leader not about "we,"
maybe there never was a "we."

Maybe there never was a we
but there sure was a them

but we the people still sounds right

And Ronald Raygun was a crappy movie star
so now enter the TV host money man
with a bad tan and fake news hair
they say he isn't a politician
but if he was going to drain the swamp
there would be none of those varmints left

like Frank Zappa said...their Varmints

There is a great book by Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion....subtitled the End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle.....perhaps we should re-subtitle it The Trump of Spectacle
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
