oligarchy

a DNC beholden to the few
wants someone who's more pliant to their will
who'll do what WallStreet bankers tell him to
they'd shove Bernie aside, and cling to Bill
but he's run twice, and cannot run again
and has to hide behind his smiling wife
as if high birth could make her president
or unify a party prone to strife
the media snub Sanders and his wing
who dream that votes should matter more than bucks
but they know billionaires control the king
directing whom he loves, and whom he fucks

we've read "How Nations Fail" but haven't learned
in stifling Bernie, our best hope is burned
