No satire

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire

No satire can do  justice do our state
Where rich folk ridicule the very poor
And seem oblivious to their dreadful fate.

Satire needs some space  to tolerate
A second look at what is happening here.
No satire can do justice do our state.

Now comes the hour yet now the man is late
Now sink the homeless into death’s deep fear.
The   government of today degenerates

Where is the opposition to negate?
Where  the observers who  alone make clear
The rules by which the powerful demonstrate?

They call it chance or destiny or fate
Hoping we will think  from God it emanates
Satire might do justice do that state.

The hill of shame exists and will endure
Its watchers are increasing by the hour
No satire can do  justice to that state
We seem unmindful of our lack of  taste

Faith?
