A Single Body with Two Right Wings

The US of A, the land of the free?
Another step closer to fascism are we.
True debate will wither, for all to see--
All due to the workplace of Ms. Hillary.

So dismantle all media that deals not in lies--
Bind verity's tongue, sew shut our eyes--
For all of the world must our nation despise,
That we may feel worthy of our most heinous rise.

All video games must make players naive,
With no character e'er having losses to grieve,
As only for children was entertainment conceived--
Proven logic as airti.

Music, as well, must suffer in chains--
God forbid any prole dare give voice to his pains;
We must all be good wage slaves, for corporate gains,
Lest our masters discover that we, too, have brains.

Anarchy, even, would be better than this--
At least then you can rely on the strength of your fist--
While, as it stands now, no peaceful fix can exist,
When the facts are such easy targets to miss.

If only the people could turn back the sands;
The hourglass, emptying so patiently, stands
In awe of the ignorant, unwashéd hands
Just an inch from the switch to wipe clean all lands.

The US of A, the land of the free?
Another step closer to fascism are we.
Democracy dying, Constitution debris,
And all for the dollar--a jail sans key.
ACTUAL TITLE: "A Single Body with Two Right Wings"

This is a political piece (O RLY?) I wrote in response to the news that Hillary won the PA primary a little while back...I took the title from a line Gore Vidal's book "Imperial America" in which he calls ours "a single-party system with two right wings." In other words, there's no truly liberal voice of much--if any-- importance in the US government, and never really has been. So...anyway, here it is.

Right-wingers and Clintonites can try to refute this, but keep in mind that (1) it is but my opinion, (2) you're not making much of a case for yourselves by getting bent out of shape over a satirical poem I composed in under 15 minutes, and (3) deep down you know I'm right.

Interesting O.O I like the hiden meaning you are putting in the poem. And...since I'm not living in United States, I couldn't tell whether it is right or wrong. But I can tell you in most countries, the politics stuffs are the pain in the ass xD
