The Price We Pay

"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs
  is to be ruled by evil men," Plato said
And the words are as wise now as they were way back then

So, listen to Plato
And use his words as a prism
Let them help us view our day
And the coming of a prison

Indifference to public affairs?
Evil men, you say?
Indifference is how much attention we give
To a certain politician today

Carousing with women
Enlisting tabloid gossip
Tearing others down
What of all the evil
When Donald Trump is around

We can ignore it
We can be indifferent
But there's a price we'll have to pay
The rule of evil will rule our land
When Trump rules our day
