Damn The People!

The People?

Damn the People! 

You,

the big cities of America elected them!

Bastions of Democrats!

The big cities 

brought the votes

to the Democratic machine!

Huge cities

from east to west

with your

millions upon millions

of welfare votes.

With your

millions upon millions

of  hand-out votes

brought this

narcissist to office,

brought his

self-serving

uncaring administration

to office

to do not what

you the people, 

you the cities

that brought them

to office want

but to do as they want.

Damn the people!

"We", they say,

"we know what’s best!

Damn the stupid people."

Shove their

self-serving

future

vote getting theories

down your throats.

Force their idea

of what medical

care you are to receive

down your throats.

Damn the people!

Throw you

and your children

and your children’s

children into

never ending debt.

They say

"lets try the

admitted killers

of thousands

as your buildings

collapsed.

Damn the people!

Give the admitted

killers of thousands

the same rights as you,

the rights of you

the people."

Give the murderers

the rights

of you the people

that brought this

narcissist to office,

that brought his

self-serving

uncaring administration

to office.

"You,"

they say,

"you the people

of the big cities

we don’t give

a damn

what you think!

We don’t give

a damn

what you want!

Damn the people!

We do what

we want

not what you,

not what

you the people want.

Damn the people!" 

Yes,

damn the people!

But you,

you that brought this

 

 

narcissist to office,

You,

you that brought this

self-serving

uncaring administration

to office,

You hear them?

You hear them now?

We,

we the people of America,

We the people are

reclaiming our country!

Damned is right, Mark. Remember the price those who put Hitler in power paid.
