I See You

 

 HEY! I SEE YOU…NOT SEEING ME

AND I HEAR ALL THE HYPOCRISY COMING FROM THE GOP

NOT TO MENTION THEIR ALT-RIGHT FREEDOM CAUCUS

FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE…TEA PARTY

HOSTING KLAN PROUD RALLIES

SHOUTING CODED WORD RHETORIC

WAVING THE FLAG OF HATRED AND BIGOTRY

I SEE YOU…NOT SEEING ME

 

PUBLIC SCHOOLS…USED AS A POLITICAL PLATFORM

CALLING FOR REFORM THROUGH TESTING

DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE TENURED TEACHERS

AND URBAN SCHOOLS

REQUIRING THE STUDENTS TO

PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE NATION

WHERE ZIP CODES

DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION

I SEE YOU…NOT SEEING ME

 

CONGRESSIONAL DYSFUNCTION…AT ITS BEST

CONSPIRED TO UNDERMINE THE PRESIDENT

WITH THE DARK COMPLEXION THEY DIDN’T RESPECT

AND WHEN THEY COULDN’T HAVE IT THEIR WAY

SORRY

WE’RE SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TODAY

HEY! I SEE YOU…NOT SEEING ME

 

POLITICAL HACKS…ENACTING POLICIES

HURTING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LESS

BUT THE POLITICIANS COULD CARE LESS

THEY’RE CATERING TO THE CEO’S OF COMPANY’S

TOO BIG TO FAIL…WEALTHY CRIMINALS AVOIDING JAIL

I SEE YOU…NOT SEEING ME

 

VINDICTIVE HYPOCRITES

LEAST OF WHICH WAS THE BULLY OF BRIDGEGATE

BUT DON’T HATE

THERE’S A LIST TOO LONG TO GO THROUGH

FILLED WITH REPUBLICANS

WHO WOULD DENY YOU…THE RIGHT TO VOTE

AND HOW DARE…YOU WANT AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE

AND WE BEST BEWARE OF THAT PATHOLOGICAL LIAR…D.T.

HE CONSPIRED WITH A FOREIGN ADVERSARY

BUT DON’T WORRY

JUST IGNORE THE TRUTH

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO HEAR THAT

SO FOX & FRIENDS ARE SPINNING ALTERNATIVE FACTS

I SEE YOU…NOT SEEING ME

 

THE POLICE…PROTECTING AND SERVING

THEIR OWN POLITICAL INTERESTS

A POWER STRUCTURE DESIGNED TO OPPRESS

BACKED BY PROSECUTORS

THAT DON’T PROSECUTE THE POLICE

WHEN THEY MURDER OR MAIM

AND WHEN WE

PEACEFULLY DEMONSTRATE TO COMPLAIN

WE’RE GREETED WITH MILITARIZED THREATS OF VIOLENCE

FROM THOSE BOYS IN BLUE

SO ASK THEM

WHO’S PROTECTING ME…FROM YOU?

I SEE YOU…NOT SEEING ME…ARE YOU LISTENING

 

I SEE YOU!
