How can you look at someone
And be disgusted
Because they’re different
How can you make laws
That forbid someone’s love for another
Because you don’t know how to cope with
Your flawed system
How can you say
That “it’s for the good of the economy”
When you only help the ones
Who already know how to help themselves
Why would you repeat bloodstained history
For the sake of being greedy
Why is your religion
Superior to everyone else’s
Yes, you’re the government
But you don’t own the babies inside women
What right do you have to abuse your power
And trample every blooming, protesting flower
You’re hosting quite the party
Must be such a sadistic delight
To sip your secret agenda tea
And chat conservatively
What makes you think
That you can ignore the Constitution
And only cite it
When it sends you its best wishes
We the people
Have the responsibility
Of reminding you of it
Of your task to respect interests
That keep our world alive
We the people
Need to take the “I” out of divided
And work together to be united
