Two hundred
forty-some years, and wow!:
A few years of
Donald Trump,
And look at what we
have here now:
Republicans who once
held
American values in
high esteem
Parrot Kremlin
propaganda,
Giving shape to
Putin’s dream.
The president,
boldly abusing
The power of pardon
multiple times,
Pardons servicemen
who
Have been convicted
of war crimes.
Though bribery’s a
crime by law,
Believe it or not,
Republicans say
That when the
president commits it,
Breaking the law
is--yikes!--okay.
By frequently
abusing his power,
The president, who
acts like a king,
Plots White House
cover-ups
And lies about
almost everything.
An adversary becomes
our ally;
Former allies become
estranged.
The nation is more
vulnerable
As priorities are
rearranged.
Be a part of the “Me
Too” movement,
But be aware of the
current dictum:
Accuse someone of
sexual assault,
And the perpetrator
will be the victim.
Taking advantage of
his position,
The president is
free to loot
The country for his
own enrichment,
And many people
don’t give a hoot.
If you are seeking
asylum, forget it.
The country now will
let you in
If you pass a major
requirement:
It all depends on
the color of your skin.
Climate change is
called a hoax
And regulations are
rolled back.
Criticize the
president
And find yourself
under attack.
White nationalists
who are close
To the president
help him make
Intolerant policies
That put our rights
and freedom at stake.
Now congressional
oversight
Is called a witch
hunt, a lynching, a coup.
To understand the
president's motives,
Just ask, "What
would Putin do?"
So welcome…I
mean…welcome maybe.
America seems to
have a new face--
One to be
changed mainly by thoughtful
Attention at the
polling place.
