The waters of chaos are rising
Whole islands submerged
Sharks eating piranhas eating sharks
The guy who would be king
Has stolen all the rowboats
And is selling them back for millions
Cooperation and human decency
Have been banished
And set adrift in rickety rafts
Someone you know
Will drown outside a floating hospital
For lack of a life vest
Childhood has been abolished
Kids are busy learning
To swim for their lives
Immigrants, people of color, the differently-abled. lgbtqia,
Are engulfed by tsunamis of cruelty
And dragged impossibly far from shore
Workers who serve, construct, deliver, cook,
And clean up messes for the beach club elite
Tread water for minimal wages
There are plans afoot
To sell us the water
We will drown in
The oligarchs of delusion believe
They can stay dry forever
But their own chaos will inundate them
When ordinary people erupt from the deep
To torpedo their morality-free pandemonium
And drain the swamp of swamps
