Crossing the Line

Attending school board and city council

Meetings to voice your opinion is fine.

But when people intimidate

And threaten officials, they've crossed the line.

 

What we are seeing happening here

Shows a blatant disregard

Of civil behavior by people attending

Meetings from which they should be barred.

 

Objecting to mandates that save people's lives,

The bullies even ridicule,

Attack, abuse, and scream at parents

Who are walking their kids to school.

 

Let's make one thing perfectly clear:

They're not merely expressing opinions.

The bullying and attacks are being

Carried out by the far right's minions.

 

And then at hearings on Capitol Hill,

A young upstart who's from Missouri

And sides with insurrectionists,

Josh Hawley, vents his fury:

 

"You mean that parents cannot express

Opinions at meetings?" he asks with shock,

Pandering to the far right mobs

As he struts around like the cock of the walk.

 

To try to explain how people like that

Are voted in, I will pass.

It's just amazing how a U.S.

Senator could be such an ass.
