Do you believe – fossil fuel is under assault?
or that law and order is passe?
Or perhaps – women’s rights are being ignored?
or security lacks at our southern border?
Do you believe – parental rights are being dismissed?
or nonconforming opinions too diverse?
Do you believe – charter schools are under attack?
Is meritocracy too averse?
Don’t you think – it awfully odd so much gone wrong?
If you don’t – it seems the chance is great,
that when something finally hits you close to home,
your light will dawn and it’ll be too late.
