Closed Circuit Vaccine

by raving reporter shaun grub 

Not an anti-vaxxer, just an "anti-truther"
Not against knowledge, though wary of college

Never a QAnoner, it's a matter of honor

Won't let fear get the best of me, that's for the rest of ye

The line's been drawn in the sand, I know on which side I stand

I stand on the side of the dumbfounded majority 

Squared off against the accusers in the shrinking minority 

With their heads so full of gangster television shows

Their admiration for this 45th president clearly grows

To the point their dedication to democracy has been blind-sided

Now vengeance is the only state to which they're all united 

We all can see their definition of "great" is violence 

MAVA should be tattooed on their foreheads 

Along with three hundred thousand tears 

After they've been imprisoned for manslaughter

For maybe just a few sobering years 

Face it, without education much of our society has gone feral 

We all ignore ignorance at our collective peril

The Kool-Aid being drunk is nothing but processed Fear 

Now the tables have been turned in this country my dear 

The former majority's monopoly on morality has backfired

Until our burgeoning multi-cultural populace is sick and tired

And that's on our outmoded laws from the one-inch bible belt

Withdrawn for all the wife beatings that they've dealt 

Any impartial observer with a high school education 

Can easily see the televangelical destruction of our nation 

And it all boils down to an excess of needless profiteering 

Money's the root of the problem from which we are reeling

The only solution is for sworn in citizens to outvote them while

The craven among us are aiding and abetting this cancer to spread

Because fear and pride have put a check-mate in their head 

When power and force are all that's left in their poker hand 

They'll lay down those cards in this once promising land 

The only trick we really have left in this game up our sleeve

Is whether their hand will be face-down so they can just leave

After they fold to crawl back under their stones for a spell 

Until the same old cycle's repeated in this self-fulfilled Hell

But with just enough luck and fair representation 

In the well regulated voting system of this great nation 

We can cultivate civic duty in our halls of education 

In the few years ahead we can reset our priority 

To hold on to our dream of placing our trust and authority 

In the people of this great land as our founding father's intended

Otherwise we'll soon face the day that democracy ended

And I'm here to reassure you in case it's not clear 

It's the red states destroying our democracy here

All because of their self righteous ignorance and fear

Pointing their fingers at all the liberals in spite

Of the fact that the lessons of Jesus were right

Love and forgiveness are more powerful than might

And greedy transparent politicians in their two dollar suits

Will trample over the rest of us while they're in cahoots

And the pride and prejudice stemming from the red states

In their own bible the message has been written of their fates

If we stopped pointing our fingers and just turned our cheeks

We could resolve this national stale mate in a matter of weeks.
