Freedom
they dangle
like a magician
as they take away your books
so you can’t spot them as crooks
Freedom
they chant
while they work every angle
‘til they can turn you away
for being born gay
Freedom
they promise
stepping on the scale
removing your healthcare decision
claiming it was an unborn provision
Freedom
they scream
so they can out all the kids
yet they tell you’re crazy
for needing meds to save Dave(Daisy)
Freedom
they say
fingers crossed behind
looking you in the eyes
as they fill you with lies
Freedom
they yell
over and over
with each fascist ruling it does wane
the very thing people lost their lives to gain
Liberty and Justice is for all
or it’s for none.
