Nightmare Team

As he assembles his team, Trump

Is as extreme as extreme could be,

Surrounding himself with controversy

In practically every nominee.

General Flynn, whose hothead ideas

And out-of-the-mainstream policies reflect

An extreme anti-Muslim stance,

Is very dangerous if he's unchecked.

Stephen Bannon with his alt-right

Scary white-supremacist ties

And wacky conspiracy theory ideas

Is someone that people of conscience despise.

Jeff Sessions was deemed too racist

In 1986 and so

Say good-bye to advances made

In civil rights since long ago.

And then there's Jared Kushner. When

Trump wants advice, he's there. Ta da!

Who is going to be running this country--

Donald Trump or his son-in-law?

It's hard to believe that in these times

Our civil rights would be under attack.

The people won't allow a team

Of political hacks to turn the clock back.

If Trump and his team go unrestrained

And no wise heads intervene,

They will ignite civil unrest,

The likes of which we've never seen.
