Clown logic is the rule of the day
Things like reason and nuance
Slowly but surely
Vanish and Fade away

In its place, something concerning
Instead of reason, we have dogma
instead of thought, zealotry
Dread from the people, all consuming

Left, right, and center
It doesn’t matter what side
No longer do we reach for compromise
Now, instead, the neighbor is the enemy

Wider and Wider
The crack grows
When it stops
No one can know

This blind following
Of party rule
Will consume us all
And leave everything untrue
