Elijah Cummings died today, a moral giant man
As chairman of the House committee: Oversight, Reform,
He led the fight for voting rights; injustice he’d not stand
Our country’s suffered a great loss; our fortune he was born
The sordid tales of Trump’s malfeasance dominate and grow
With each new witness testimony Trump’s impeachment strengthens
Today Mulvaney spilled the beans admitting quid pro quo
And Trump chose his resort to host next meetings of G7
Pompeo and Mike Pence with Turks agreed, with hat in hand
The Turks would pause their full offensive for the next five days
To give the Kurds some time to flee before Turks took their land
And in return we’d lift the sanctions and we’d end our stay
Trump hailed this deal as victory; the Kurds he denigrated
And cavalier his attitude: for deaths he bears no blame
Republicans and Democrats, Trump’s actions both berated
Trump shamed and weakened the U.S. while Putin vastly gained
