Water, water, everywhere…
not a drop to drink
Tears running down parents’ faces
Brown water in the sink
From Flint, they will sprint
Politicians tried to save a buck
Colored water! Coloured faces
Did they give a fuck?
Switched the source, much remorse
Some think it is too late
School-aged children sure to die
Golden water, heaven’s gate
Urban crisis…Flint, Detroit
In our own backyard?
Children asking, “Our water too??”
Poker facing, will they see our card?
Clean water put out fires
Dirty politicians who we hire
How much till we tire?
Patience surely to expire!
That wasted water, we can’t drink
Sending fresh water, so we speak
“Mom, why are we moving?”
Tears falling, mom can’t speak
Mom’s packing our clothes
Dad is making calls
Those who CAN move, WILL
Those who CAN’T F a l l
Like Katrina, government arrived late
Like Ferguson, government said WAIT
Like New Orleans, government: ” RElocate!”
Texas, here we come!!
Build a wall??
WE are coming from the North
Southern Belles, prepare your homes
You’ve been “Trumped” citizens coming forth!
Don’t you get it?
Don’t you care?!?
It’s not just in Flint!
It’s the American nightmare!
This neveaux trail of tears
Renewed death and fears
Politicians campaign smears
Victory brings no cheers…
