the tolls of these bells

these bells they toll for you



ring ring
ding dong
ring ring
ding dong

these tolls
of these bells
do indeed sound off
for you
mr ex president

it is they who sing of freedom
sing of the good in americans
rather odd it might seem
there is no celebration
for the failed coup  
or
the quid pro quo
want this give me that
you first or 
fuhgeddaboudit
funds for ukraine
held hostage
or
the misogyny
the hypocritical
the racism
the denier of facts
the subscriber of bull
or
the audacities of millionaires 
pretending
to have concern for 
the poor a*s working man
working at minimum wage
or
the poorest of man
no phone no food no pet
no house no home
to call their own

no insurance
no vacation
no future
no past worth mentioning
no g.e.d. no college
no hope

but hey
mr ex president
we have a token for you
stainless wrist bracelets
wear them proudly
you coward you

it serves you right
your spawn your attorneys
your cfo
all one in all
as community in crime
do hope you make it 
out alive

it's not platinum not gold
that makes you look old
it is truth breaking out and away
most certainly not praise
but frustrations you deserve so

don't worry
we have more
