Hear the words
"Oh, say can you see…"
Some have chosen not
to remain
Standing; instead,
they've taken a knee.
Taking a knee to
protest injustice,
The players have
faced their critics who feel
That when the
national anthem is played,
People don't have
the right to kneel.
But what about a
president
Who criticizes our
institutions--
Who calls the press
the enemy
And scorns their
vigorous contributions?
What about a
president
Whose racist ties
are loud and glaring--
Whose stance on U.S.
asylum laws
Is unequivocally
cold and uncaring?
What about a
president
Who boldly refuses
to take a stand
Against the
industries that poison
Our water and
threaten to ravage our land?
What about a
president
Who throws our
allies under the bus
And sidles up to
Vladimir Putin
After what Putin has
done to us?
What about a
president--
A blowhard who has
dropped the ball
In dealing with
corruption, for his
Admin's the most
corrupt of all?
What about a
president
Who calls
unpatriotic those
Who take a stand--or
knee--against
Practices that they
oppose?
This from a man
whose actions border
The actions of
someone strangely psychotic!
Trump has no right
to call any
Other American
unpatriotic.
