Americans are scared to talk of "class"
and so we banter visions of the State
no matter that the front-runner's an ass
whose backers only resonate to hate
as if corruption were the only threat
and--were it clean--we'd cheerfully agree
on everything from gun-rights to the debt
and what it means that all  Men are born free
our silence breed dysfunction and mistrust
it's not the way to know another's heart
alliances--if not preserved from rust--
when need is greatest tend to fall apart
so let us calmly reason, you and I
and not embrace each politician's lie
