Thanks to You
We'll go backward, watch us, as the man you chose rewards
His friends. They'll see their bank accounts explode as our
Lands and our waters fill with toxins, and the planet warms.
Our kids will die from lethal toys, and we'll be fleeced by
Crooked bankers. All those people we've relied on to do
Lousy jobs for us, the waiters and the nurse's aides,
The roofers, and the ones who pick our vegetables
And slaughter cows, will be deported. We'll be poorer,
Hotter, sicker than we've been and ought to be, thanks
To our amoral leader, and to you. You chose.
