Theater

American politics have turned into circus,
Mindless entertainment for the masses,
Better yet perhaps,
It’s a state of decay with the constant threat
That the government one day will be at the brink
Of total collapse.
And the more one side decides to separate,
The more the opposite has to stretch
Becoming extremes,
Mad hatters tear at the fabric of society,
They un-tether they’re grasp on reality
Killing the dream.
It’s an absurd theater, a poisonous ether,
And at the heart a rat that many treat
Like a king,
A cancer released to eat upon the earth
While fools grin bearing rotting teeth
Ignore things.
And there lies the problem, their lies,
Demons in disguise in the era of information,
Full of deception,
They lend no ear to no one but themselves
They are the hate, a disease of ignorance
Without perception.
