To me the right has become mostly a meme

Blocking political process is now the main theme

The SCOTUS taking bribes left and right

Gerrymandering going on day and night

Most democrats have the appeal of The Simpsons’ Flanders

He’s getting pretty old but I like Bernie Sanders

The rich get richer / The poor get poorer / When our time comes / No guilt for the horror

or maybe

The planet is burning / We die of starvation / Abolish the wealthy / And claim our salvation

or maybe

One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, overthrow the 1% and bring about a socialist utopia, etc

I always watch sadly
Those giving their vote
To people who’d gladly
Cut open their throat.

They follow their hate,
They don’t spot the lies.
Rich man owns the state,
Rich man’s gaining weight,
The poor one just dies.

Edit: changed a line

Capitalism has become such a bore Wish waged labor existed no more I’d rather pay taxes Take billionaires assets And distribute some wealth to the poor

I really don't care
It's neither here nor there
I live alone in the woods
My biggest worry is bear
And his economic stance on my foods

Anarchism is the way, workers only you should pay.

The rich and wealthy we should eat, nutrition shouldn’t be sourced from meat.

Roses are red Violets are blue The worlds gonna end Before I turn 52

People dislike the present

Yet always vote Blue or Red

I only vote independent

And people still blame me for who led

The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don’t you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property’s inherently theft And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite

(Bo Burnham - How the World Works)

Newlines are real tough.
Two spaces and the end make it rough.

Hit enter twice

For space extra nice.

I yearn to be free

To plant a tall tree

Or maybe five or fifty

A greener world would be nifty

/

Power corrupts

So why should we bother

With coups so abrupt

And Dictator Father?

/

Yet democracy still

Gives me a chill

Tyranny of the masses

Why the rose colored glasses?

/

Corporate greed

Is not immune

From society’s bleed

Into authoritarian noon

/

So what, then? A king?

Or anarchy’s kiss?

How do we give up the bling?

Live a life full of bliss?

/

The truth lies inside

The life we observe

Is the one that we chose

And thus, what we deserve

/

If we want to be free

Change from a few’s not enough

Not just a million and three

But collectively, all of us

Like tectonic plates, growing apart

With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part

The legislature doesn’t really care about me

They get there money and healthcare for free

Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization

Not just the US, but almost every nation

War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling

Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling

Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?

Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail

There are so many politics issues

That I would be here all day

So if you want to know what mine are

Treat this comment as an AMA

Ever since I have been married with kids

My days are too short for me to give a shit

Slavery is real, racism is too

But look outside America, you’ll see it times 2
