Whatever happens with the election
Don’t think there will be any end to it
The barrage of outrageous incitement tweets
The fascist militias mobilizing to take power
Even if someone better were to win the vote
The electoral majority would not stop them
Unless huge numbers of people mobilize
To bring about real systemic change
As long as the racist police terrorize with impunity
As long as the billionaires buy politicians and judges
As long as human needs are secondary at best
Intolerable living conditions will persist for many
Denying the accepted science of global warming
Denying that racism is systemically imbedded
Denying a woman's right to choose whether to give birth
Denying same sex partners the right to be intimate
All of these hurtful harmful obtuse recalcitrant refusals
Entrenched in monopoly capitalism based in white supremacy
Rife with the religious prohibitions of the patriarchy
Designed to impose the reactionary past on our future
We must organize to put them all out emphatically
Ditching their rule in favor of a secular scientific socialism
The way to create a culture of caring for each other
While protecting the earth for the next generations
