They say they believe in the constitution
Wanting to raze every solid institution
Strongmen on homologous trajectories
Rummaging into scanty treasuries
They think past legacy has been toxic
Considering themselves as truly heroic
They promise better days ahead
Only to dog-whistle insults unsaid
They do not believe in innate human value
Holding nothing to be sacred or a taboo
They have a humungous selfdom
Treating the great nation as their kingdom
They think taking advice is for the weak
Surmising modesty is only for the meek
They think that they absolutely know it all
Forgetting pride always comes before a fall
They push for extreme nationalism
Devoid of any virtuous patriotism
They undo hard fought rights
Creating causes for new fights
They keep awake throughout the night
Ruminating as how might can be right
They purport as saviours of the day
Bad-mouthing their rivals every day
They want to go back in history
Painting a nightmare as a story
The day of reckoning is coming
and the signs of it are in the making

'The day of reckoning is coming
and the signs of it are in the making'..
where 'we' the lowly majority
pay the price with our crimson tears
for stubbornly, refusing to take accountability
for the very votes that empowered 'them and they'
to shit on us, all day long
all year long, long
all 'term' long
a lifetime - long...
where 'They' are manifested
as this big Bad Wolf by our poisonous 'vermin media'
and 'we' caricatured into playing reality's
little red cloaked characters, of wilful ignorance's naivety...
so then, another war is it to be?
then what
another government where 'we vote'
and put those same 'predatory sociopaths'
in places of power
where egocentric nice suits
and well groomed camera aesthetics, is prioritised
above content and policy, again: as ever...
we play the pointing blame game
and our children pay
with their wasted future's, yet again
and again
and again...
why change a winning routine
lets keep it all, satisfyingly: 'reactionary rage'
and vilify our fellow humans
or profit from each others pain
war and anarchy that's the answer
a step forward for decades of regression
that's the cynically cyclical pattern, in our addiction: right?
yeah, lets destroy all we've built
and all, those poor millions died - for, already throughout history
cause you know, its always been
a punch or a trigger - easy, to destroy
than fight to prevail, sustain and create....
'I, me and my
is all that I see'
a generation's manifesto of capitalist greed
hence why words like empathy
are denoted to realm's of archaic mythology....!
I couldn't better analyze what is dysfunctional about that class known as Politicians, subregi.
I only hope 'The day of reckoning is comming'....
thanks
Very true words subregi, they are only in it for what they can get out of it for themselves and do not care about others.

Unfortunately true
