| words that get in your teeth

For America by Amy Lee

Oh, for what is a true patriot anyway?

Ye who is too hateful to concede defeat,

too thuggish to deserve democracy

too blind to the sufferings

too busy gerrymandering

too supreme for the truth

Oh, for what are words anyway?

The muted don’t need words. Words are weapons for liars.

Oh, for what is this country anyway?

This is the house that racists built,

this is the land where rioters rage,

this is the home where civility is burnt

this is the joke where liars rule,

this is where they swim to your shores

then nailed with Judas’ kiss
