Our freedom of speech

Is a dwindling right.

Will other nations help us to fight

The rise of hate and spite?

Orwell predicted it

And now we are here

A world where evil is good

And good is misunderstood.

Where calling out a salute to fascism

Is suddenly taboo

We all saw it.

You did, too.

A land where criminals are pardoned

For carrying out the wrath of the hardened.

This is hardly the land of the free

Our Founding Fathers promised it would be.

The teachings of Jesus they claim to uphold

Are not in any Bible I’ve ever read.

Some perverted rendition they uphold instead.

Where hate is love

And love is hate.

If you’re white, male, and rich

You have nothing to fear.

The rest of us will be distracted
