The government is playing Yahtzee
Except instead of rolling dice
They get to place the dice face-up
However they think is nice.
Meanwhile, they make us roll our dice
And tell them what we rolled
Even though they already watched us
And take half our score ‘til we fold.
Playing Yahtzee with the government
Is not a whole lot of fun
So that’s why I want to go live in the woods
With my wife, my dog, and my gun.
The Daily Travesty 
When justice no longer reigns
When people are seen as pawns
When diligent work is decried
When honesty is no longer valued
When one’s safety is in question
When empathy is mocked
When basic needs are denied
We have lost our freedom
When lies are seen as truth
When only oligarchs count
When I’ll intent is rewarded
When misinformation reigns
When might makes right
When bravado is worshipped
When rich posture like heroes
We are living a nightmare
Seek out caring people
Posture empathy
Over a shimmer of hope
Care for the land that feeds you
Listen to those who struggle
Reach out to help
Rebuild a caring community
Rebuild civilization
