Demagoguery
Change came to country as an answer of hope
Eight years a ruin of unimaginable scope
But stirred up solutions might leave some quite in dread
They will cling to the past and new lies they’ve been fed
Rise up in anger as an ignorant lot
By demagogues led in a cynical plot
“Socialists,” “NAZI’s,” the hyperbole scream
“Killing of seniors” by a “death panel” scheme
Yet shouting in madness can belie greatest fear
“Birthers” and “Deathers” simply can’t come to bear
A black man in power who will stand up and lead
When he threatened entrenchment they would soon plant the seed
Of America’s death knell yet the truth ‘came opaque
Where you don’t have the facts then the facts you must make
So Senator Grassley and crazy Glenn Beck
Spin all your spin and serve up your dreck
Lie for us Sarah with Palinesque charm
To hell with an answer – we can sound false alarm
