MAGA has Become Madness

It has become a madness. It is infused with falsehoods, distortions, delusions, hatred, fear, ignorance, sycophancy, grievance, violence, insurrection and powerful lies. It is MAGA. I wrote a song about it in 2017, as it began to metastasize. Now, it’s a disease that has spread through the presidency, the Congress, state governments, the courts, the press and social media. It has infected the electorate. It will kill this democracy. It must be fought and eradicated.
"TAKE HEART, TAKE HOLD" by David Guilbault © 2017 David Guilbault There is a place I won’t go. It’s deep down and full of dark souls. It’s a hell of hate, Where they can denigrate. It’s a crowded, wretched hole. They’ve come now to drag your heart down. They’re one with the fool in the crown. Their words are born of bile, A swamp of lies so vile, Flooding justice ‘till it’s drowned. Don’t cry in the night. Don’t shy from the fright. Take heart. Take hold. Their legions grow louder with fear. Their victimized violence draws near. They’re a force that’s strong, With weapons fierce and wrong, Drawn to slay all that is dear. Don’t suffer alone. Don’t sadly bemoan. Take heart. Take hold. Take heart. We’ll turn this around. Take hold. We’ll stand on our ground. Where there’s right, there’s might. You’ve got to join this fight. This is where we must be bound. We’ve got to take the higher ground. Take heart. Take hold. "Take Heart, Take Hold" © 2017 David Guilbault
