each generation has its fools  
but this one takes the cake  
subservient like Orwell's mules  
they're blind to what's at stake

contorting words to doublethink  
defying Occam's rule  
they've brought our nation to the brink  
it all started at school

now we must speak as if in church  
unholy order, this  
and watch them, as they weave and lurch  
prohibiting what is

the anger that they do evoke  
their ardor -- makes me weep  
and if they get their way, the woke  
well -- what awaits the sheep?
