Northam Plays Race Card to Win

Blues are always with a hair trigger to use the race card

Their call for unity and come together that high ground barred

Northam used the race card but in a way so perverse

Minority children running for their lives from a KKK in a Rebel flagged truck

Trapped against a wall they seemed to have run out of luck

Only to awake from such a bad dream in a state of shock

Race baiting, painting Gillespie as a KKK to his chances block

Politics with the moneys to be made as HJC and Bill have revealed

Out goes the ethics, out goes any hesitation to an election steal

From the founders’ concept of citizen lawmakers who would serve a few terms and to their farms return

We have grown to a professional tenured class with no connection to main street catering to lobbyist with money to burn

To achieve for their clients a federal contract, a loophole, a regulation so competitors would be smashed

All driven by the need to fill up a senator’s or representative’s coffers with campaign cash

Looks like the race baiter Northam tonight will win

The deplorables will have to endure the MSM Trump was rejected spin

And the divisions in this country will continue to relentlessly expand

Gridlock will be the rule of the day in the Swamp and across this partisan land
