When they say school choice – Often the benefit is to those who have more.
For many others it will be a closed door.
How can the poor afford to go beyond their zip code?
When you have limited money and resources you have no choice
but to stay close to home.
Many schools have taken out the vocational and artistic routes.
So if that is what you choose, you will have to go private.
Open to those who have money to pay for it.
We have to acknowledge that not all are academically inclined.
More options are needed so no one gets left behind.
And if you don’t have an academic brain or a disability is a mainstay,
Without other choices you will remain untrained.
These people should not be blamed or shamed.
Instead this sector of our society is in need of more opportunities
to thrive and grow.
Not be treated as trash or garbage for throw.
Retraining and education is also needed by those who feel abandoned.
They can’t be canceled, stay in limbo or stranded.
Big businesses left many hanging.
They responded to globalization by outsourcing their labor force.
Then the Government gets blamed for not doing more.
Yet Trump and Republicans’ games have been to lessen regulations
and give them free rein.
Reduce their taxes, bolster their gains.
So they have more power to continue profiting, stifle unions and wages.
How is that a viable solution?
But many still wish to reward them for such executions.
Some Americans vehemently reject health insurance from the Government.
Yet they readily accept what the private sector offers instead.
For their sake, companies charge more and cover less.
No matter their answer they always pass their test.
Even though the co-pay and deductible are high.
Or certain procedures, they deny.
Republicans tried to deny options beyond what we can get through employment.
Time and time again, they have attacked the ACA.
With that gone, there will be no insurance coverage if you get laid off.
The ACA was for another option, not a substitution.
Yet still it’s been rejected, because they label it Socialist.
How illogical, maybe even pathological!
Wanting to deny this lifeline to millions.
When Trump was handed the Country there was a rising economy.
Yet he was able to take much credit.
And the perception has been that he made it what it is.
There was no economic plan from Trump.
Except reduction of taxes for those at the top.
And bolstering the gains on Wall Street.
Who does that help other than the elites?
Not beneficial to most in the Country.
Trump’s interventions were not helpful to most Americans.
Especially through the pandemic.
Yet so many wanted to vote him back in.
Desperately believing that only he could save the economy.
As he knows business.
And siding with the “socialists” is what the devil would wish.
As America(ns) seemed to be experiencing turmoil after turmoil.
Religious response appears to have been to add to the boil.
Not attempts to unite or placate.
But to weigh in about which side to take.
Making it seem that one stands with God.
And the other is fraught with sin.
Leaving no choice but to pick those who speak in such round about ways.
Their gibberish seems like they are speaking in tongues of praise.
The strategy has been to have people believe that they can only choose
from the decisions they are led to.
And the forced choices are laid out as win or lose.
It looks like a no-brainer which they should choose.
Some buy into the façade that all is bad.
So it doesn’t matter what you do.
And they side with the businessman in rejection of politicians
As the one they can trust.
And his say and go becomes their must.
If this type of disconnect continues, America is doomed.
The average American will keep being limited when it comes to choice.
And those at the top will be given a louder voice.
America is being groomed for a One Party rule.
And that Party’s history is consistent with building the rich and Corporate.
And it’s to them the benefits will continue to circulate.
They will have their cake and eat it too.
And the ones to get screwed will be me and you.
The stronger they become, the less the People’s votes will count.
Democracy down and out.
Another choice that they will dump.
Following the path of Trump.
The master of the cover-ups.
Making people believe they have limited choice.
And as they remain enthralled to his voice.
He takes their options away.
And their belief of limited choice is the only choice that stays.
