Collateral

You didn’t listen to what we said
Let your brains slip out your head
Refused to learn or be well-read
Chose spiteful and selfish ignorance instead
On children’s dreams, you continue to tread
Moving to help like you have boots full of lead
Tucked your values quietly into bed
All that vitriol and virulence you love you spread
Like a snake’s skin, your morals you shed
Preparing for the dark days you made ahead
Snatching and stealing the poor people’s bread
The hate of history connects to you with a thread
Filling weary and weak with even more dread
Having nowhere to run, inward we fled
We told you your actions would make us all dead
