Satire

American Crisis: The Death of Justice Ginsburg

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

This little old lady

Had the heart of a lion

She fought like a tiger

Just to stay alive

Until the Mad King was ousted

Fate intervened, and

Now it’s up to us

To honour her, and

Fight for ourselves

Our children

Our grandchildren

The soul of America

Is on the ballot

Rise up and take back your country

From Donald J. Trump, because

We all know that if his lips are moving

That he’s lying

 

The double-talking Republicans

Were talking about replacing her

Before the body was even cold

While mourners gathered at the steps

Of the Supreme Court to

Pay homage to their fallen champion

Everything that’s wrong and right with America

Was on high display that day

It’s not just a political battle anymore

It’s the fight of our lives

For the soul of America

 

This little old lady had more spine than

McConnel and Graham and all their ilk

Breaking their word of four years ago

Like it isn’t anything

Liars one and all

Are they even men? because

A man’s word is his bond

I’ll say it, I believe it

How can anyone not see this hypocrisy?

How can so many be so blind and uncaring?

What is in their souls?

 

 The notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg

RBG!  RBG!!  RBG !!1

Honor her legacy

She saw these corporation ass-kissers

For what they are

She saw these male chauvinist pigs

For what they are

See saw the white supremist bastards

For what they are

She saw Donald J. Trump for what he is

She stood tall against them all

 

Now, it’s up to us – you and me

To fight for the country, we believe in

She shouldered too much of the load

While we cheered her on from the sidelines

Now, we have to enter the fray

Right here, right now, without delay

To have her courage

To have her heart

To have her humanity

Rise up1  Rise!!  Rise up!!!

 

The soul of America

Is on the ballot

Rise up and take back your country

From Donald J. Trump, because

We all know that if his lips are moving

That he’s lying

 

Courage

Righteousness

Character

Compassion

That’s what we need

Just like RBG

Say her name

Honor her legacy

Carry on her fight

And fight like tigers

Just like RBG
