where is the adherence
to the balances and checks?
why bother with appearance
with a foot upon our necks?
to the balances and checks
the executive gives orders.
with a foot upon our necks,
the masses have no quarter.
the executive gives orders,
the judges legislate.
the masses have no quarter:
congress supplants the states.
the judges legislate,
lip-servicing like whores.
congress supplants the states,
replacing rot for mores.
lip servicing like whores
to that hallowed institution.
replacing rot for mores...
