The Worst | Brad Constantine

After many years on this earth
I’m outraged that we are
Still the type of nation where
Spineless leaders cower at
The feet of degenerates who
Want to destroy other souls
Just because of the color of their skin
Or the origins of their families,
That we still have so few voices in
One of our major parties
Willing to stand up for the weakest
Among us rather than doing the bidding
Of the worst elements of our society
Shame on all of them for not
Defending our democracy
