Month: April 2021

Wildly contagious, the lying disease
Among the Republican Congress throughout
And too, right wing media, lying to please
The Trumplican diehards, to keep them devout

They trump up their fictions deliberately
About what Joe Biden is saying, has said
And, too, the election, felicitously
That Trump was the winner. The Big Lie is fed

And all through the country red states still, we note,
Adhere to the fiction that Trump’s role persists
They’re passing state laws to inhibit the votes.
Of non-white communities where they exist

So where are our loyal opponents of these days
And what is their platform; for what do they stand?
They fabricate issues, false narratives played
And blame them on Biden whom they reprimand

Their efforts are feckless they’re all doomed to fail
On Joe Biden’s programs they can’t lay a glove
They try to besmirch him but to no avail
He’s winning people with truth and with love

May twenty fifth, a year ago
George Floyd had died of over stress
Handcuffed resisting his arrest
Cop, Derek Chauvin said ‘twas so

Like others many times before
His lies were there to be believed
He’d get off free, what he achieved
Another Nigger ain’t no more

Darnellla Frazier witnessing
Of Derek’s knee on George Floyd’s neck
She, on her smart phone did collect
A vid of Chauvin’s murdering

And published it all on Facebook
It changed the course of history’s tide
Caused demonstrations huge, worldwide
While Congress took a deeper look

Today it all came to a head
Court verdict: guilty, all three counts
Relief from overwhelming doubt
Justice served this time, instead

Congrats to all participants
The. lawyers, witnesses, police
George Floyd can finally rest in peace.
In spite of these developments

The racist problem still remains
It’s nurtured through a mother’s milk
With attitudes that cause no guilt
Immune to how a person’s trained

Suggestion: just a simple one,
Along with barring choking holds
For cops whose duty is patrol
Equip with tasers but no guns

Deep prejudices will be there
For some who have policing skills
Reduce the means by which to kill
Then blacks of cops need not beware

The Trump no longer worries me
His relevance diminishing
Except that he keeps weakening
The remnants of the G.O.P.

They stand for naught in what they do
Suppressing votes is all they know
Of Blacks and Browns; to make it so
That they might win in twenty two

The Party’s just an empty shell
They’ve lost the skill for governance
They send Democracy askance
The G.O.P. ‘s got naught to sell

The old Republicans are leaving
Businesses no longer paying
Former leaders now are saying
Change! But no one’s there receiving

I think that what the future holds,
My guess, by twenty twenty eight
There’ll be a fulsome candidate
Her Party new derived from old

A Shining City on the hill
Conservatism old but new
Constrains just what the gov can do
And listens to the peoples’ will
