Deborah or Joan



Deborah or Joan

When government is a debacle it’s like sliding over barnacles
It rips and shreds until you bleed and cry
Defense is the money you thought you have
As it buys less and you slide from sire to knave

Only unschooled fools trust the greedy drool
Politicians that pretend to be life guards at the pool
Then come the promises and individual becomes unkewl
Then rises the rebel clear despite shouts of coward ringing in her ears

So rip away and rather struggle than be sacrificial
Surrendering yourself to nobody and none to you
She fights for the mind, the defender of Liberty
Let my life be mine and my mistakes will always be divine

“Twas God or Nature or whoever owns the hereafter
Gave me my life, she intones on the step of a public corner
Cheers ring out as The People know what’s true
A shot rings out and she’s dead from a government crew
