The news is upsetting; it’s hard to digest
Try putting your arms around thousands of deaths
More eighty three thousand no longer alive
That’s parents, that’s spouses, all loved ones who’ve died
Their family, their friends in their mourning garb dressed
It’s just the first inning; what models suggest
Too, families are hurting, no jobs and no food
The nation’s economy deep in recession
This COVID ‘s so potent it’s really gone viral
Plus Trump’s sheer incompetence caused the deep spiral
The nation is under: more deaths and depression –
Upstaging Vlad Putin who’s up tp no good
Repeating his old tricks, but this time more clever
His goal is ensuring Trump’s term won’t abort
By massively sowing election disruption
To make Trump’s loss look like it’s steeped in corruption
So Trump could then challenge his loss in the courts,
Refusing to yield, ‘twill be Trump’s main endeavor
