Price of Freedom

Price of freedom
No longer valid
A mute point
In wake of coup
Nobody knew
Just wanted a change
Free us
From status quo
Election win
Trump is in
Firing begins
Appointments made
Senate approved
Stacking the cards
Republicans
White supremacists
Anti-semites
Homophobics
And the like
In the end
Happened so fast
No time to react
No time to plan
Free us from tyranny
Christians cry
Wondering why
Their table turned
Whilst turning a blind eye
But we loved you lord
They continue to cry
Children starving
Not knowing the cause
How can it be
Dependent on Medicaid
Medicare, food stamps
Other government support
Said there'd be jobs
Economy was great
How did it go wrong
We prayed
Everyday for you
We lied for you
Many will die for you
Kept you covered
In jesus' blood
You said
Climate change
A hoax
But in the cold
No heat
No food
Living in streets
Trash can food
On menu again
Armies with guns
Are everywhere
Only wanted a change
Free us
From staus quo
Election win
Trump in again
What say you now?
