Less and Less the U.S.

More and more
we’re less and less
the U.S. we used to be.
Inflation, stagnation,
illegal immigration
and the global economy
are partly what’s changed
our democracy.
Now Covid-1984
is tracking me!
Who’s pulling the strings
of our bureaucracy?
I’m all for improvement
and equality.
That’s not what I
now generally see.
My U.S. is a mess;
no longer free.
Bring back the America
we used to be.
Bring back freedom
and liberty.
Reinstate our
republic democracy.
There’ll be no technocracy
ever for me!
