They Denounce...
Scornful disease of mind's among us,
Exposing blackness of their soul.
Infected do their worst to neighbours,
Their aim is sharp at throwing stones.
A crooked finger points from darkness,
An evil smile, cackling laugh,
Denounce game of those complicit,
Not seen since days of Purges past.
And demagogues approve this sickness,
Encourage even more to turn.
For everyone accused, denounced,
Their lives are shattered, jobs are gone.
Our speech's freedom, exchanged ideas,
Among enlightened founders praised,
No longer is a part of fabric,
Of our own "United" States.
