Declarations and Duplicity

Declarations and Duplicity

What is the color of your hypocrisy?

Why do you abandon the blue?

Once you celebrated the veteran,

Someone has surely bought you.

For people that claim to be righteous,

You slather yourselves in such shame,

It angers me that you might just,

Commit violence in the unholy don’s name.

Secrets that he got his hands on,

Did they remain secure in Palm Beach?

Or were there plans that he planned on,

Were the documents placed within reach?

But there you dance ever harder,

Your sin pervading all through.

While you constantly refill his larder,

While he constantly sells out me and you.

There’s blood on your hands, don’t you see it?

There are deep holes that are burned in your soul.

Your hearts turned stone I guarantee it,

And hate has swallowed you whole.

You were once the party of Lincoln,

We once followed you to be free.

But now in baseness you’re sinking,

You’d see all of us down on our knees.

What is the color of your hypocrisy?

Why are your hands stained so deep red?

Why so beholden to autocracy?

Why do you wish the Republic dead?
