The Anti-Socialist Cause

Many have anti-socialist views and they shout anti-government too.
This has allowed corporations, rich and special interests to get more,
while the middle and lower middle class fall short,
and the gap widens between the rich and the poor.
Trump wants you to think that a vote for him is against big government and Socialism.
That’s one of his tricks – distracting tactic.
So you’re not seeing what’s creeping through the window while he has you focused on the door.
Be aware, clear and honest about what you will be voting for.
What are his and the Republicans’ plans?
A lot has changed – For what do they now stand?
At least with democratic socialist
The common man can get some benefits.
When the money goes to those at the top
History shows it doesn’t drop.
People fear America will be like Venezuela or Cuba.
The downfall was due to corrupt and authoritarian leaders.
Democracy was watered down.
Checks and balances were hammered to the ground.
Alas, that seems to be where America is heading
She’s taken her eyes off her Blessings.
She’s succumbed to the need for speed and greed.
And diminished her support for democracy.
Her focus has been so limited and narrow.
She does not see what’s beside and behind her shadow.
When you allow your focus to become a tapered stare
You fail to see what else is there.
Something lurking that’s more sinister
Or something of a more immediate danger.
America once stood for democracy.
Against corrupt and authoritarian regimes.
But some want to bring that chapter to a close
As they invite the same to her shores.
He pushed his way to the front and center,
He then was allowed to enter,
Now he does whatever he could
To take from his “enemies” so he can give himself a boost.
If he thinks you’re not for his side,
He aims to take away your voting Rights.
Don’t give them assistance or let them wait –
That’s what he says about Democrat-run States.
He pushes the law to the limit and doesn’t abide by the rules.
He spreads lies and propaganda too.
Decisions are streamlined to him as leader.
He forms his own task force and he becomes the only speaker.
Forget Congress and independent establishments.
When used, it’s only for the leader’s benefit.
So while your mind has been rumination against big government,
Have your eyes been seeing Trump’s empowerment?
It’s ironic that Trump and his supporters
Claim they are the most Patriotic.
If you disagree with them, you’re not American.
But they are the ones trying to undo systems, and undermine the
Constitution while admiring Russia and Putin.
So if they are not pleased with what America is about
Why is it that others, not they, are the ones who should move out?
America was led to believe she’s no longer great.
And that she needs a total re-make.
But often the grass seems greener on the other side.
Until we get there and realize
That what we had wasn’t so bad.
Though America needed restoration and mending
At least her values were still standing.
But if her citizens fail at protecting those
She will become what they feared the most.
