Ignorance On Steroids

Ignorance must be on steroids
while our rights seem to be slipping.
Appears that rights of working stiffs
been given to Medicare for the tipping.

Thugs from government agencies
are reducing Medicare and Medicaid.
The environmental agencies have fallen
have lost or given up the steps we'd made.

Ignorance must be on steroids
the common man is mute before this attack.
Is it because he can't see all this corruption
or see his rights going and not coming back.

Congress is on a free fall
stumbling over changes we demand.
The president is oblivious to the public
holding our futures in his hands.

I see ignorance rising daily
giving excuses for all this crap.
Too few have the desire to speak out
as if their souls have taken a nap.

Gasoline prices thru the roof
our water now more contaminated.
Layers and layers of lies out front
explanations seem to be laminated.

Cost of everything on the rise
paychecks dangling in place.
Rich folks getting even more rich
the gap has gotten to be a disgrace.

Ignorance must be on steroids
as we accept far too many excuses.
Gotten to the place normalcy
is just regularly exercised abuses.

Must be something in the food
ingredients we gotta try to avoid.
If not things will remain the same
with ignorance being on steroids.
