Who scheduled this war?

ICE van sits on the corner

waiting for your children

waiting for your parents

waiting for your friends

Got your green card?

It doesn't matter

you're still a target

in the end.

--

No one is safe.

The monster is in the House.

The monster is in the Cabinet.

The white house on the lane is

run by the insane.

--

People are fired and arrested

for honoring their body

for minding their own business

for speaking their truth

a stark contrast from the time

of our youth.

--

Now our country is laughed at.

once

a nation of pride

a safe haven

honorable and true

now reduced to just a big bully

feared by many, despised by few.

--

Who scheduled this war?

Who profits from such pain

Who builds their kingdom

on bodies and chains.

--

Won't you help me save the date?

3 years left

but justice won't wait!

    Counting down the days, Sam, until this lunacy is gone and America can become the great nation it once was. And, I don't even live there!
