I am tired of being pushed around
By insurrectionists trying to shout me down
Bastardizing justice, inducing fear
No, I shall not fall into despair.
Chicanery lording over me
Sophistry offered as a remedy
Rolling off their tongues without a care
Still, I will not be led into despair.
From the powerful white old men in justice
To political frauds saying trust us
Spreading their deceit while reciting the Lord's Prayer
Nay, I won't be bamboozled into despair.
Muzzling sexual exploitation
With a sparkling explanation
Pronouncing the rape was just an affair
Will make me angry instead of despair.
My body is not their constitutional vessel
For their controlling legislative wrestle
Denying my bodily freedom with conservative fanfare
Will have me marching but not consumed with despair.
Protecting a dictator's orange lying ways
Absolving atrocities because you're afraid
Malfeasance abounds but I bid you beware
I have the power to overcome and won't despair.
