It’s up to Us Now (1-16-22)

Joe can’t shame those who have no shame
The Democrats need to up their game
SCOTUS has spoken
And Congress is broken
At the states, we must focus our aim

In states that GOP control
Voter turnout must be our goal
I would take great pleasure
In countering their measures
And get all who want to the polls

Mother of all drives, let us mount
“Get out the vote” is paramount
Let our efforts surpass
Each new law they pass
Let’s make sure all Americans count

Counter their mis-information
Up 17-year-olds registration
Let’s thwart their goals
And get souls to the polls
Make sure all know their polling station

Help voters check their registration
Help with IDentification
Counter suspense lists
Reach out and assist
Block voter intimidation

Counter efforts we must now start
To keep Democracy from falling apart
In large or small part
We can each do our part
The voter suppressors to outsmart

Democracy hangs by a thread
But brighter days could lie ahead
If all of us vow
Starting right now
To stop the very thing we so dread
