Appalling News

Nonsense from the folks on the Right

Continues to plague us every day.

It's as though we're all on a stage,

Caught in the midst of a nihilist play.

 

A Texas school administrator

Told her staff to interfuse

Books about the Holocaust

With books containing opposing views!

 

Here's what that means: if they have books

About the Holocaust on their racks,

Opposing books must be included,

Or Holocaust books must be given the ax.

 

When going in that direction, people

Are treading on dangerous territory,

For when we talk of the Holocaust,

There are NOT two sides to the story.

 

Other appalling news: Trump

Is coopting the GOP

By taking it hostage so he can secure

His role as a future nominee.

 

All Republicans who fail

To push his giant election lie

When they run in future races

Are going to have to say bys,

And he will just sit back and gloat.

 

There's something we must understand:

The soul of our nation is in peril.

All it takes is a little poison

To ruin the water that fills a barrel.
