The Town Crier's Insanity

warning my a*s off!

The Town Crier sounds mental, and the Town Crier is me,

I realize how crazy my "Let's Ask Granny" sounds, but 

can't believe all I see

swirling around the political world, I thought 

everything Trump's spouted,

all the put-downs of women, of minorities, all the 

hatred he's shouted,

would bring his high-flying campaign crashing to the 

ground

in a fiery crash of broken dreams, he'd be loser bound,

but, it's exactly the opposite is our sad reality, the hell 

we now face.

With the ludicrous now mainstream, insanity's 

spreading all over the place.

Overseas it's even worse, the insane choices they've 

made, at least so far,

with blaming 'others', where they're heading seems to 

be on a par

with the same mistakes they tragically went through 

before,

lashing out at 'them', locking and barring the door

to keep 'them' out, the only problem? "them" is us.

We have to fight this s**t, we must, we must!

I see a dangerous new trend taking root in the press.

The President-elect spouting lies as the gospel truth. 

Yes,

it's the same old trick used by demigods and dictators

since the dawn of time, using the media to settle an 

old scores,

shaping a pile of crap and lies to fit their own 

narrative.

spreading falsehoods as truth, it's a kind of nationwide 

sedative.

They rail against what they perceive as an accusation 

or slight,

against this manipulative use of the media, we've all 

got to fight.

The seeds of another nightmare have been sown,

and the world's headed onward into the great 

unknown.
