I'm afraid to speak my mind
To say things that need to be said
Only to get lost in the incessant din
Of the click bait
Like button
Emoji
Social network of unreliable media
The current climate
Is stifling
Gasping for breath
Drowning in a sea of fiery
Anger and rage
Burning from the inside out
The polls are so polarizing
We bicker over little issues
Part of a larger whole
Small minds
Loud mouths
Big sticks
Freedom of speech
Builds the bars to our prison cells
Lady liberty cries herself to sleep at night
In her special jacket
And padded room
All logic treated as sin
Religious freedom only applies to one version of God
He and our founding fathers would be appalled by what we've done in their names
America,
Land of the bullies
Delusions of braveness
Greatness gentrified
Polished to look nice
Beauty ain't that deep
Rotting beneath
All the make up and make believe
That has replaced truth and facts
How can you trust your own eyes
When your mind lives a lie
