It looks as though the president--
The dull and tedious bore--
Has unilaterally decided
That he's declaring war.
War on what or whom? you wonder.
The man who thinks he's king
Appears to be declaring war
On almost everything:
War on truth; war on judges
Who don't agree with him;
War on any critic who doesn't
Support his every whim;
War on immigrants' rights and war
On aid to people in need;
War on any measures that
Restrict corporate greed;
War on DEI, or course,
And war on voters' rights;
War on historic records that he
Thinks are unfair to Whites;
War on the rule of law, and war
Also on reason and science;
War on wokenesss, because he doesn't
Tolerate defiance;
War on schools with high Hispanic
Enrollment; war on the press;
When he imposes his tariffs, then war
On countries that don't acquiesce;
War on clean-air regulations
And health protections for sure,
For he's defunding research, which
For him has no allure;
War on an independent Department
Of Justice and FBI,
For now they jump when he says "Jump!"
And do not ask him "Why?”;
War on public broadcasting
Which gives him fits of pique;
War on ANY station that
Allows his critics to speak;
War on cities, particularly
Those in states that are blue;
War on you if you perhaps
Are LGBTQ;
War on us, for he is using
Our troops against us. His orders:
Troops have the right to stop and question
Anyone near our borders.
Especially on Democrats
War has been declared,
But he'll go after anyone.
Very few are spared.
It's really war on democracy
As our rights disappear.
I never thought I'd see the day
That THAT would happen here.
There seems to be no end in sight
Of this continuing saga.
The Statue of Liberty now wears
A red cap saying "MAGA."
