A Letter to President Zelenskyy

Dear President Zelenskyy,

Why the hell did the fates

Make Trump the president

Of these United States?

 

I guess that last November millions

Of people didn't vote,

So NOW for four more years we are

Stuck with that old goat.

 

Your Oval Office meeting didn't

Turn out well last week.

It's hard to get your point across

When Trump won't let you speak.

 

Certainly, you know that he's

Vindictive, rude, and crass.

He expected you, of course,

To kiss his giant ass.

 

His rudeness, incoherence, scorn,

And total disrespect,

Show that he's a man-child whose

Behavior goes unchecked.

 

He has NO compassion for

The people of Ukraine

And chooses--along with Putin--to treat

Your country with disdain.

 

We know that Russia attacked you, but

Trump is world-renowned

For telling lies and says it was

The other way around.

 

His idea of helping other

Nations--they will learn--

Is giving support if he receives

Something in return.

 

Protecting world democracies

Is not his thing, and that’s

Because he is enamored of

The world's autocrats.

 

Trump turns many folks against you;

Be that as it may,

Those who love democracy

Are with you all the way.

 

You're a hero to many of us

For how you've led your nation

Through Putin's war. Viva Ukraine!

You have our admiration.

 

Putin's forces must leave your country.

That should be the plan.

Free-world nations will do their best

To help you if they can.

 

People say that when we're creeps,

Karma's not our friend.

Hopefully, Trump and Vance

Will learn that in the end.

 

Sincerely,

Americans in favor of saving democracy

A Dangerous Man

With Trump back in the White House, life

Gets more dangerous every day.

The safeguards that had been in place

Now are quickly slipping away.

 

Without U.S.A.I.D.,

Diseases in other countries will spread.

While Trump hits his golf balls around,

We will all be counting the dead.

 

Viruses that were under control--

Such as measles--will be on the rise

As Trump's dubious medical "experts"

Stifle the truth and spread their lies.

 

The firing of CIA employees

And FBI employees as well

Endangers us as the agencies try

To function with limited personnel.

 

In the past, a security clearance

Involved a background check. No longer.

They're passed out as though they're candy.

Compliments of the powermonger.

 

Giving in to adversaries:

Another unprecedented matter.

Trump is handing over to Putin

Ukraine's head on a silver platter.

 

By weakening NATO, Trump is giving

Putin the chance to expand his "realm."

How can world peace survive

With such egomaniacs at the helm?

 

As the Republicans make cuts

To Medicaid, people will suffer.

If anyone is struggling now,

Just wait: things will get much tougher.

 

Cutbacks in programs for veterans

Endanger the lives of more of our vets.

But Trump and Musk don't give a damn.

They act without thinking and have no regrets.

 

As regulatory agencies

And authorities are no more,

Trump and his team of cut-throats are putting

More lives at risk than ever before!

 

Trump and attack dog Vance both show

The world how they are immature.

They think they're tough, but they are really

Cowardly, weak, and insecure.

 

How sad to have a president

Who is so willing to sell us out!

Is he going to destroy this country?

I have not a shred of doubt.
