Some serious things are now going on behind the placid scene
Like raising from the dead the zombie bill: repeal, replace
Essentially the same as was but tweaked so as to glean
Those last few votes of Senate holdouts, tumbling from grace
It’s off-again then on-again it’s Donald’s way of scheming
One cannot trust what Donald says, his mind is always changing
Eight hundred thousand youths in prime are still left out there dreaming
To some day stand as citizens, their futures rearranging
But of concern among all else is Kim Jong-un’s behavior
Belligerence is his response to UN levied sanctions
And Trump’s response to Kim’s response: to do the same, just more
Like idiots, the two of them so ratcheting their actions
You say to criticize is cheap, how might you change this schema?
I say negotiate while strengthening our allies’ air defenses:
With anti-missile missiles in Japan and South Korea
I know that China would object; it would offend their senses
But that would be our leverage: getting their participation
China’s pressure back on Kim to curb his manic ways
And join the others at the table in negotiation
And so avert the destination of the end of days
