10 Words for Winter - Age of Trump and Covid

Living in the time
Of the carbon shift
The forests burn, and
The ice caps drift

Commander in Chief
Psychosis Deep
Blow away the evidence
With a tweet

Lead us divide us
See us all at odds
Your fiction is our truth
Smart phones our gods

Death comes to all
The damned die slow
You think you still have time
But you died years ago

So take my hand
And hold on tight
Close your eyes and medicate
Dance through the night

Greenland is melting
The Oceans rise
Our politicians
Are talking lies

You deny the facts
Commercialize and thieve
Pump another tank of gas
For the future grieve

The school yard bully
The ego freak
Dissonant humanity
Every time they speak

Your front row seat is paid
But you forgot the rent
Observe your own extinction
Level event

So take my hand
And hold on tight
Say a prayer, admit to care
Live through the night

Vector Elected
Covid 19
Your people sentenced
Your speech obscene

Absent compassion
For the old and frail
Blame all the others
For the job you fail

This great Pandemic
Will may take you down
Your lies exposed
You will loose the crown

Exponential Spread
Of our discontent
Your time has come and gone
Our trust is spent

Take this to heart
We will rise above
Working in fellowship
Build a world with love

Police knee on the neck
Black father choked to death
Protests burn, the people turn
No leader, law and order president

To the bunker flee
And there more violence decree
The looting starts the shooting starts
Home of the brave, Land of the free

Call the national guard
Protest and ratings, going down hard
A strong man walk-in-the-park
Offend that Bible for a photo op

200 Thousand lives are lost
And 40 million jobs
Threaten "the people" with the airborne troops
Power at all cost

Exercise Your Democracy
End this sick reality TV
You know the truth, don't believe the lies
Act together and you'll see blue skies
