#FucktheFourth

7/2/2019

 

While families are torn apart
    Upon this dying earth,
While legislators have no heart,
    Fuck the Fourth.

The Rich accumulate their wealth,
    The poor have got no berth
When War is of the State the health:
    Fuck the Fourth.

Until all wrongs have been made right
    And immigrants are welcome,
And families sundered reunite,
    Let anarchy and hell come.


When “freedom” and “compassion” prove
    To be white lies—what worth
To gain the world and have not love?
    So Fuck the Fourth.
