Patriot is a cause
for concern.
Just to hear him
called that ought
To make a person's
stomach turn.
A patriot? Someone
who sidles up
To murderous tyrants
around the globe?
Whose policies sound as though
They're coming from
a xenophobe?
A patriot? Someone
who takes advice
From dictatorial
leaders who
Suppress their
people and stomp on their
Democratic points of
view?
A patriot? Someone
who simply ignores
Advice from
honorable experts here
And lets only
sycophants
And adulators have
his ear?
A patriot? Someone
who uses his office
For self-enrichment
and personal gain,
And when the critics
question him,
He responds with
bitter disdain?
A patriot? Someone
who thumbs his nose
At laws and with no
circumspection
Asks for foreign
involvement to help
Him win a
presidential election?
A patriot? Someone
who willfully
Obstructs justice
and who defies
Subpoenas and asks
his team to do
The same while they
back up his lies?
A patriot? Someone
who panders to
Religious groups to
advocate
Laws that violate
principles of
The separation of
church and state?
A patriot? Someone
who scorns our allies
And has a peculiar
motivation
To placate
adversaries and thus
Damage our nation's
reputation?
A leader who
stresses self before country
And rules a country
with devious ways
Doesn't deserve to
be called a patriot
And doesn't deserve
the people's praise.
