Lots of urgency that’s facing us tonight
People dying daily; Puerto Rico’s toll
FEMA has no supervision, lack of oversight
Moving at a snail’s pace, abrogating FEMA’s role
Fires in California burning up and down the state
Structures by the thousands been devoured in smoke and flames
Brush fuel was explosive, that plus winds accelerate
The rapid fire expansion; climate-change is what to blame
But the story most disturbing are accounts from White-House staff
That the President’s demeanor has deteriorated worse
He has claimed he hates his staff; he’s unraveling, acting daff
Neither Kelly nor McMaster can contain him as his nurse
Corker sounded the alarm: Trump is dangerously not okay
But Ryan most deliberately mislabeled this a feud
Trump’s likely to take action on Iran and on N K
His actions could change everything: agreements come unglued
This is the calm before the storm; the storm is what comes next
It could be war with North Korea; many thousands dead
It could be Trump accepting not Iran’s conforming tests
Whatever ‘tis, we look upon the future with some dread
