MacGuffin

[fausts_dream]

It never existed, you know
The America you would have us take back


Homophobia buried them in closets
Sexism kept them working in the home
Racism kept them to their communities
and denied us all their light

We hit them and they stayed silent
We glowered and we raged
For did we not want to see

Did you think we could hoard all the power for ourselves forever
The irresistible advance of progress
The inevitable backsliding
When we are afraid of a black man in a suit

I haven't crunched all the numbers, but angry white men
and people who insist all children MUST BE BORN,
but then stop caring about them
Doesn't sound like a winning coalition
America is getting more colorful
Even brighter than your ruddy cheeks

Stranger danger
Spousal abuse
Drugs and alcohol
Nothing new under th' sun

There is only so much income inequality a society can bear....
Unfortunately, we don't know the exact amount...
Til after the revolution

Perhaps the inheritors of this society , Will be merciful
Or perhaps heads will roll
This phantom you chase, it's all in your.....oops, there it goes
