Slow Koolaid
Poison hearts and minds against the other
Laws and speeches, spilling hate in caucus
Elections held meant to represent us
Crowds in streets, demanding rights to gather.
Uncomfortable questions in the night
Poison hearts and minds against the other
I have not lost a son, daughter, brother,
A victim of the dark and endless fight.
Bearing our fists, we’re all part of the one
Respect, honor; we’re from the same Mother
Poison hearts and minds against the other
Will kill us all, the spoils going to none.
On the news, basic human rights, smothered
Clueless, ignorant drink the slow Koolaid
Laced with red berry-squeezed deadly nightshade
Poison hearts and minds against the other.
