Flock the Magic Dragon
Lives up a tree
Where he watches and records
All that he can see
Flock the Magic Dragon
Is employed by the state
But can easily be accessed
By those thinking of abuse and hate
Flock the Magic Dragon
Spreads fear and distrust
His backers are counting money
While communities combust
Flock the Magic Dragon
Hates the poor and the vulnerable
And he is trying to ban websites and apps
That make him visible and discoverable
Flock the Magic Dragon
Does not understand why people are against him
That everyone is tired of being the victim
Of a weaponized algorithm
Flock the Magic Dragon
Chases people who don’t hand in thirty dollars
But is often wrong about more serious things
And gets cops to feel innocent collars
Flock the Magic Dragon
Lives in the land of red, white and blue
But if history tells us anything
He’ll be coming soon to tree near you too.
