Where do you stand?

Where do you stand? Angry words, violent actions; a nations hinges on the furor of freak show factions The right ballyhoos ballot box trickery fueling their constituency’s irate reactions Election season unlike any before; based on the last imagine what’s in store Me? I have had more than my fill of fanatical delusions Mein Kompf can’t take no more America you’d best be paying attention. Our democracy teeters on one last straw for suspension There’s a mad man who wants to rule the world as a king, despite his poorly veiled intention It’s no secret it’s what he’s got planned No red or blue tell me where do you stand? Drill for oil, wall out foreigners, keep the perimeter manned Retribution for those who won’t bow, where do you stand? Still trying to rewrite the pages, pleading insurrection innocence that won’t survive the ages Guilty stains, like the black dye running down Rudy’s cheeks, will be recounted by the sages Blame the machines or the volunteers, prey upon your weakened masses deepest fears Some say it’s pointless to try to change their minds, after all a fool hears what he hears Does he hear the cries from across our land? No red or blue tell me where do you stand? Are we Rebs and Yanks, choosing sides like that Civil War the right doesn’t understand Brothers and sisters in the home of the brave that we must save, where do you stand? Tim Windisch 01/08/2024
