When will the army swoop in
To take over the reins,
Because there’s so much poop in
(Foul smell, excreta, stains)
The offices of government
That have been in the charge
Of party hacks—vain men hell-bent
Self-interest to enlarge?
When will the military
Decide “Enough’s enough,”
Civilian hari-kari
Has made the going rough,
With Senators and House Reps or
At least a certain faction
Committed but to more and more
Obstruction and inaction?
The legislature (rather
A faction: the Repubs)
Has substituted blather
As fit for privy clubs,
Instead of taking seriously
The duties in their trust,
And sloughed responsibility
For private gains unjust.
It was a certain party
Through slander and deceit,
Employment of tricks dirty
To denigrate and cheat,
Destroyed the trust in government
And put a wannabe
Dictator in as president,
Its own epitome.
The chaos as expected
Splays outward sans control,
The state nor more protected
Since having lost its soul—
The public merely talking of
Democracy to scoff it,
More interested in showing love
For luxury and profit.
Civilians lacking virtue
Have lost all discipline
(No matter how you search you
Find not a jot within),
So what is left? They fail to rule
Themselves, with prospects scary,
Each other vying fool for fool—
“Bring on the military.”
So citizens will holler
Who squelched the living flame
Of freedom by the dollar,
As though it were a game:
The reckless quest for profit that
Eclipses all the rest
Of dignity for diddly-sqat
Has turned self-rule a jest.
