Fear in the US

Fear in the US

 

The US mass media now tell us

Their Government, court systems, I hear

Are not what they were once set up for

But have changed and are now based on fear

 

Fear that the President will hear

That an individual disagrees with him

And has revealed this opinion to the public

Via mass media, and so it gets grim

 

A career can be cut short in an instant

And this is the land of the free ?

In Australia this trend's slowly appearing

As workers fear managers, disagree

 

Don Matthews November 2018

 

Is Trump using fear in his campaign?
