Day by Day More or less in a desultory ride Through the motions they find their stride Until then, going along with the tide Disappointing performance quality pride Overall Purpose muddled in every way It’s not what they do it’s what they say
Burning Tesla cars in the street Throwing bricks at police Protest officers walking their beat Riot gear from head to feet
Without a soul A Rioter’s goal To take control Unrelenting exacts a toll
City by the Bay LA Peaceful protest Snatched away Leadership lacking Violent Rioters packing
Activist extremist in disguise Hiding in plain sight realized Extremist sleeper cells In the crowd Violence encouraged allowed
Vandalizing stealing thievery looting Speakers chanting recruiting Their one true purpose deluding
A time will come when the messages is clear Serpent slave time is near Empowered they shove us to our knees Evil thoughts do as they please
Rile up agitators Governor Newsom says The quiet part out loud “ I don’t care”
Defiant, proud, inciting the crowd Chanting rhetoric bullhorn loud First he let the Palisades burn Now it’s illegal immigrants turn
His practice lines are well rehearsed Turned his back on the dead first He told Police Don’t intrude it will only get worse
The press President Trump media blamed A Lying Beast cannot be tamed Word by word verse by verse The essence of an evil curse
Mayor Bass habitual, swearing Lack of compassion nor caring Hatred for the Presidency preparing Destroy capitalism remnant rants daring
Trump wants to stop those who Escalate Capitulate Violate
The State is Up for grab Everything can be had Break it Loot it take it all California will eventually fall
The rich middle class moving away Many ask, why do I stay? God gave me His call It’s not time for California to fall, The inertia of it all
Illegals fly the flag of the country they fled, Never wanting to return
While Burning the flag of The country they never want to leave Rhetoric babble practice to deceive
This is not about blending in This is an insurrection What They want is to destroy America Rebuild from the ground up
The destruction they have planned For our country, our land But we’re too ignorant to see We are on our knees Trying to appease and please Because we put ourselves there
I grew up in California On a small country farm Local flavor friendly charm. Gone; Community’s cities ghost town One last look around Massive areas Burnt to the ground
Call a place paradise Kiss it goodbye A lump in my throat, a tear in my eye One day I’ll say a final goodbye
Evil doers like locus destroy another city It’s a pity it’s a shame unrecognizable blame Drug lords human traffickers cartel gangs Welcome to Los Angeles turf war claims
