Beware of North Carolina's so-called Bathroom Bill
Peel back the layers and you'll find it is a shill
Legislators want you to focus on just the Bathroom part
The bill is just a Trojan Horse, the real trouble's set to start
Supporters claimed bill was needed to fend off pro-transgender laws
Opponents say it violates human rights, and it's filled with flaws
All the toilet and locker room talk overshadow the real game
Employment rights for LGBT have been stripped from the frame
We hope you understand the legislation doesn't stop there
No job protection based on race, gender or religion. No way it's fair
The lawmakers undermined anti-discrimination laws, you see
Under new North Carolina laws you have no legal remedy
Conservs displayed the Bathroom component like a shiny new car
While slipping the more dangerous changes under the radar
They'll tell you NC workers still have some form of legal redress
But they must go thru Fed System, where access is a mess
Under Federal law, time is on the employers' side
Feds only give 6 months to file. With the State it's a 3 year ride
If the Fed deadline was missed, they allowed you to sue with the state
That avenue has been closed off. You will be screwed if you wait
The law's impact will cover a tremendous amount of space
91% of the complaints involve age, gender and race
Business groups claim ending right to sue was a "technical correction"
Opponents say it emboldens corporations and heads in wrong direction
But there has been some push back. The sporting world's taking a role
NC may have trouble attracting big events like Final Four and Super Bowl
Take a closer look at so-called Bathroom Bill. Details may make you choke
The devil is in the details. All the more reason to STAY WOKE!

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem discusses how the so-called North Carolina Bathroom Bill hides a number of legally toxic items. The Bathroom Bill component is highlighted by Conservatives as a smoke screen to distract us from the more toxic portions.
