shimmering plastic

[saw]

nomenclature
born in filthy think tanks
shape the way we feel
about the onslaught about to come

first, plan the offensive
then give it a clever name
that suggests just the opposite
like for instance peacekeeper missiles

Gee, I'm for peace, so I'm ok with all this
say the MAGA obedient... how about
Peace Through Strength, what about that,
once again I'm strongly in favor of peace

So pour me another glass of Kool Aid
spike mine with ketamine so I can be happy
like Elon, so I can stab people in the back
like that other pathological liar in Elon's office

the prez ran on a platform to end war outright
yet he's decided to bomb Yemen and fund a genocide
he promised good paying jobs, but he's fired tens of thousands
of hard workers, Yikes, it seems the Emperor Has No Clothes

He hates immigrants even though his wife is one
But hey, he was just kidding, I saw him on TV
he held up this brand new gold card he claims
is a pathway, no, a shortcut to citizenship

and it only costs five million dollars
he asked the viewers, That's pretty great , huh ?
so that's what he meant by making america great again
he was so proud of this shimmering piece of plastic

Our (so-called) leaders: Do as I say, not as I do. I used to wonder about my parents when they pulled that stuff.
