Fear

The president has hammered away

Constantly--year after year--

At major attempts to instill in the people

An overwhelming sense of fear.

Asylum seekers and immigrants

Pose a threat--one that's severe--

And terrorists are swarming across

Our border, he's said, instilling fear.

The free press is our enemy,

He's often said, making it clear

That he thinks he can score more points

By making the people live in fear.

The Democrats are after your guns,

He says whenever he has someone's ear,

Trying to make the people more

Insecure by stoking fear.

You in the suburbs had better beware:

The way of life to which you adhere

Is under attack, he says, as riff-raff

Slowly move in. Once again: fear.

Voter fraud is rampant, he says,

Making a non-issue appear

To be a major problem and hoping

To win again through lies and fear.

The Dems are socialists, he says,

Destroying us. Another smear.

He hopes that he can win more votes

By making up stories and stirring up fear.

His people now say liberals

Are arming themselves as the election draws near

To wreak havoc in case he wins.

Another unjustifiable fear.

Such are the ways of an autocrat.

If we want to be sincere,

That he could win four more years

Should be our REAL cause of fear.
