Fifty-two years ago
The people of the US
saw
President Lyndon
Johnson sign
The Voting Rights
Act into law.
Our leaders and our
Supreme Court
Have since struck
down important protections
That came with the
VRA,
Affecting our
freedom and future elections.
Our right to vote is
under attack--
A blow in the gut to
Uncle Sam.
The president's new
Voter Fraud
Commission is real
sham.
Applying more
obstacles
That make it harder
for people to vote
Is not conducive for
keeping our
Democratic values
afloat.
The reasons for the
assaults on our rights
Are obvious and
calculating.
Believers of
democracy
Should find them all
infuriating.
It's sad and scary
to see our leaders
Limit our rights
with no remorse.
But clearly for our
president,
That, good people,
is par for the course.
