Sit the Pledge
July 4, 2017
Sign a petition they all said
It'll fix everything
Sign a petition they all said
It'll help the injustice
What will you do when you sign your petitions
and all that's left is a searing hole
and papers on the White House desk,
smoking and black, straight down the drain
Sign a petition they all said
"It'll get nothing done."
