We Americans have lost our minds.
We’ve drunk the kool-aid as republicans designed.
We’re poised to allow more republican control,
The very same folks who put us in this very deep hole.

And now we’ve bought the worst kind of bunk
Blaming Obama for all the junk
He is responsible according to the “wise”
For ISIS, Ebola, Putin, and sea level rise.
There is nothing on the earth going sour today
That hasn’t been put on Obama’s tray.

We the people must face our fears
Engendered by republican propaganda for years.
We crave instant gratification;
We’ve lost sight of complex causation.

The panic ensuing over Ebola contagion
is callously fueled by GOP raging.
Remember FDR and his famous quote?
It is fear itself we must revoke.
Give republicans their deserved rout.
Get to the polls vote the fools out!

Are we ready to move?
Are we ready to take action?
Can we change the course?
Can we thwart the distraction?
Can we get back to governing?
To our own satisfaction?

What is the proper antidote?
Why we the people have to vote!
