A Charm Against Growing Rot

 

Should a great disease of disruption,

a rotten smell of corruption,

arise around your countrymen,

who let this feral evil in;

and now your neighbors flee their home,

again to somewhere else to roam,

and these traitors to Liberty's words,

are acting like entitled turds;

weave a charm to help your homies--

to hide them from the slave hunters and their cronies.

Remember who made this country free;

and bind all facists, so shall it be.
