Just what will be remembered of today
The day the shadow of the Moon traversed the Earth
The day that Trump announced the Afghan war’s rebirth
The day in Boston thousands marched protesting hate
Trump’s venue was Fort Myers where he spoke
In contrast with his speech the prior week
Americans of every color, creed
All join defending us against our foes
Regarding Trump’s Afghani policy
His new approach to winning of that war
A copy of Obama’s from before
With minor changes, far as I could see
He’ll, maybe, have some thirteen thousand troops
To do the job a hundred thousand couldn’t
He’ll train their troops to fight as past they wouldn’t
There’s no there there, our people won’t be duped
One thing was new regarding Pakistan
Insulting them; they were uncivilized
And courting India, Trump hasn’t realized
They’re enemies, a fragile truce extant
Reading the teleprompter made Trump feel
All Presidential, looking almost real
Tuesday’s Phoenix rally will reveal
True Trump in all his xenophobic zeal
