In the Name of Fear

In the name of fear two thousand children cry alone at night
In the name of fear the Supreme Court will soon be packed far right
In the name of fear civility is thrown out of the door
In the name of fear racism, greed, rage, and corruption score.

In the name of fear the clock turns back to times that never were
In the name of fear each new day’s lies mash truth into a blur
In the name of fear gun rights trump children’s rights to stay alive
In the name of fear corruption, rage, greed, and racism thrive.

In the name of fear democracy grows dimmer every day
In the name of fear authoritarianism holds sway
In the name of fear congressional lickspittles rubber stamp
In the name of fear greed, corruption, racism, and rage ramp.

In the name of fear lack of all moral compass leads the way
In the name of fear insanity grows more in charge each day
In the name of fear America descends in a tailspin
In the name of fear rage, racism, corruption, and greed win.
