They pretend they can Not See:
Polluting of the rivers
The browning of the skies
The wailing and the cries
Of children ripped from givers.
They pretend they can Not See:
The children shot in schools
The children needless dead
The smirking orange head
Dementia’s pooling drools.
They pretend they can Not See:
America’s plummeting rep
Demoralizing troops
The empty-headed whoops
The flashy trashy goose-step.
They pretend they can Not See:
As airplanes fall from skies
The rotting fruit in fields
The thugs with masks, not shields
America’s freedom dies.
They pretend they can Not See:
That crime is on the rise
They cyber truck in lies
Kill wisdom with the wise
American excellence dies.
