2.26.16 (surely tomorrow)

They say
It's a golden age
One of privilege
We should be excited
To be alive
But bigots are soaring in the polls
While liars continue their reign
And the money that still controls
Remains difficult to obtain
They say the food supply
Is in grave danger
They say our roads
Are on the verge of collapse
Oh! The golden age!
Sweet privelege!
They tell us we've come
A long way
That people are no longer judged
For color, or race, or religion, or sexual orientation
But alas, one click,
And you've been watching videos for an hour
The knot in your chest tighter than you can bear.
They say the 60's were much about peace
Then why are we still having this discussion
They say the world is going to be ok
But alas, a few clicks
And you're certain if not today,
Surely tomorrow
