Image for the poem purity false

purity false

expectations were so high
before the blight got mighty nigh
funny how we blame the other guy
without fully understanding why

bent party bosses all take advantage
promise protection from the savage

they’ll save us, it is thought
from godless lefties or the red-hatted rot

america the beautiful, i loved your soul
freedom guided by conscience -
embrace humanity whole

amerika the victim, your bloodlust is thick
fear is your lonesome, timeworn trick -
your confederate schtick makes me sick

for Purity False this discord is workin’
hate is a chum that excites the certain

crushtheother trends to the sky
a people made angrily un-allied
zuckerberged with tactical lies

expectations are now low
but there’s one thing i do know
gonna share my truth before i go

i tune in to love because spirit’s inside us
i tune out the noise and embrace joyful silence

while i understand that many won’t buy it
i pray i may shine, and invite you to try it
