In real time we’re observing, witnessing the swift demise
Of liberty, democracy as we’ve known heretofore
The G.O.P. has gone full rogue, a Party in disguise
It now belongs to Donald Trump, full rotten to the core
Today we listened too to SCOTUS, oral arguments
On Roe v. Wade, a woman’s right, the liberty to choose
To birth a child or to abort; what Roe v. Wade defends
The Trump appointed justices, true justice they’ll refuse
Their real intentions they made clear, just how each will decide
There’s fifty years of precedence supporting Roe v. Wade
Which they will override though nothing justifies their side
The only change is politics that drives decisions made
Not only will this devastate those women so in need
It will destroy the SCOTUS as Supreme Court of the land
Decisions won’t be trusted, since to politics they heed
A blow to our democracy which maybe can’t withstand
Meanwhile we Democrats are paralyzed; we’ve lost our clout
We can’t pass legislation to preserve our basic rights
The filibuster cuts us down; nor can we vote it out
In real time we’re observing, witnessing our own demise
