Bunker-busting ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’

The cost for shunning what Jesus begot –/ Lip service that cracks our melting pot.

First gilded inmates seize the asylum,
Then bulldoze ‘merica to a slum; 
The jolting politics of slash and burn,
That spits out spite, making stomachs churn. 

While ICE spearheads barbarism, 
Gerrymandering spikes racism;
The abducted made less visible –
Due process denied as if criminal.

Only white, red state “Christians” matter;
When others thrive, the cult gets madder. 
The cost for shunning what Jesus begot – 
Lip service that cracks our melting pot.

Hear this, for those not already rich:
“Too bad, buddy, that’s your bitch;
You losers aren’t smart enough,
Or lazy, woke, without the right stuff.”

Big joke: MAGA marks fail as fat cats,
Hardscrabble vs. humane Democrats,
Prepared to share spoils and defend rights,
Thus wrongly hated by cultish troglodytes. 

Gulled by a king of shreds and patches,
Bought off with kitschy clubby badges;
Stiffed with inflation, denied health care,
Their solace – tawdry campaign malware. 

Can MAGA defy their own self-haters,
That Donald’s swamp empowers gators?
Piranhas scheme to gain high ranks – 
While topping off oligarchic gas tanks.

Thus gated gangsters put down the people
As dumb, gullible, low-class sheeple.
Immunized from failure by wealth,
Even dim bulbs are masters of stealth. 

Thus the rich get richer, unimpeded,
Then gripe and scream whene’er defeated.
Easy to pander with facile scams
When treating marks as slaughtered lambs.

Reform must counter organized theft
By organizing more election heft.
Time to wake up backward electorates – 
So they parse decent from degenerates.
