Maybe

Maybe I was foolish:

me thinking I could fight

one as powerful as he.

Maybe I was foolish:

me thinking I could sway;

maybe halfway we could meet.

Maybe I was foolish

 me thinking that he cares

about the folk in the street.

It was very foolish

to think all of those things

he is just way too elite.

It was very foolish

He is a Congressman

and he's in the driver's seat.

It was very foolish

He uses us as means

to more power and deceit. 

Democrats?

They violate their own standards,

Hypocrites every one.

They say they are for freedom

but censor critics: cowards.

Democrats, they proclaim themselves 

but stifle most dissent.

When loyal members berate them

their democracy dissolves.

It isn't pretty and not nice

what they do to members

who say what they're really thinking;

blocked and censored from advice.

It isn't bad to criticize

it is more loyal than

those who never speak up when wronged.

Why's critique politicized?
