"ASKING FOR DEMOCRACY" by David Guilbault

I’ve got some questions
That are gnawing at my brain.
This world right now has gone insane.
Can we survive
All this hatred, fear and shame?
Is this the end of freedom’s reign?

I’m not asking for me.
I’m asking for democracy.
Asking for democracy.
Can we keep us all free?

There are bigots, emboldened,
Beholden to a man
Who lies and cheats and cons all that he can.
There are powers of graft and greed
Who now control the land.
Has fear enslaved the common man?

The truth’s been crippled
By the willful lies of fiends
Who lie and steal and rape and kill and scheme.
If you can’t feel it
Then you won’t know what it means.
Can’t you see what all this hatred brings?

How will we fight the foul?
How will we seize the day
And turn away the dark that grips our souls?
How will we know the truth
When truth is all but slain?
Are you ready to fight the fight today?
