Bad News

once they brought the orange man
the center could not hold
all the hateful messages
all the lies they told

you could feel it in the air
the chaos and the fear
the end of an experiment
more random violence near

hard to quite envision
when progress seemed in play
now the tablets crumble
bad news on the way

the gated took so openly
from people on the street
cops put down resistance
and covered the elite

no more care from government
a splintered civic whole
the only thing that mattered now
was what you grabbed or stole

hard to quite envision
when progress seemed in play
now the tablets crumble
bad news on the way

empathy and capital
an oxymoron there
a coup de grace for culture
the savagery laid bare

you and me in horror
still leading little lives
as we stagger through the shock
that eagle beast arrives

hard to quite envision
when progress seemed in play
now the tablets crumble
bad news on the way 2X
