wakeup-it's not a dream (Say your prayers)


Picture
(Kent Nishimura Los Angeles Times)


You'd better
​You'd better say your prayers
Wake up-it's not a dream
Wake up-it's not a dream
​Wake up-it's not a dream
​Wake up-it's not a dream
The world is watching
Trumps talking
Can this really be real?
People all around
Reject the hate-mandate
For you children's sake...
 Say your prayers
You'd better, you'd better say your prayers
Wake up-it's not a dream
Wake up-it's not a dream
​You'd better, you'd better say your prayers

Yellow news
To change the views
Of those still undecided
Win or lose
You've gotta choose
Or get stuck with a tyrant
Now I lay me down to sleep
Truth is questioned
Lies believed
Trolls control the conversation
Disinformation distracts a nation...
Say your prayers
You'd better, you'd better say your prayers
Wake up-it's not a dream
​Wake up-it's not a dream
​You'd better, you'd better say your prayers

America what have you done?
Put your trust in Donald Trump
What will you do
When he turns his back on you
Black is white
And white is black
They cheer the Russian email hack
Just remember this one truth
Most of us didn't vote for you
Dear god you'd better,
You'd better, you'd better say your prayers
Wake up-it's not a dream
Wake up-it's not a dream
You'd better, you'd better say your prayers.

Money hungry
Power junkie
Feed your greed monopoly
Separate us walls contain us
Sell us your hypocrisy
Kamikaze candidate
Why are you so filled with hate?
Autocratic maniac
You're just a sad
Political hack
Truth is questioned
Lies believed
Virtue scorned
As kindness bleeds
Generals & billionaires
Waging war
On our welfare
Brainwashed
By Rush and Fox
Hear your echo chamber talk
Welcome to bizarro world
Watch the Fascist flag unfurl

Twitters tweeting
Wiki leaks streaming
F.B.I's teasing
Putins beaming
You'd better, you'd better say your prayers

Rigged election
Voters rejection
are we too blind to see?
You'd better, you'd better say your prayers.

​Notes 2024

This is an election year like no other.
We have a convicted felon, twice impeached, sex offender
ex president that instigated an insurrection, versus
a former prosecutor, District attorney, Attorney General,
Senator & Vice President. She is also the first Black &
South Asian woman to be the Presidential nominee.
So you know this contest is going to be close, right?!
Please join me in voting for
Kamala Harris 
A good & decent person for the good of our nation.
