Month: July 2022

Josh Hawley, Josh Hawley so macho, so bold
You cheered the mob MAGA; as part of their fold
Accepting electors, you chose to vote no;
To void votes of millions all cast for Trump’s foe

As young junior senator you’d make your name
By being an anarchist you’d build your fame
You egged on Trump’s mob as you held high your fist
When they stormed the Capitol January sixth

And storm it they did overcoming police
They smashed their way in as the violence increased
They searched for the Speaker; they searched for Mike Pence
To murder Pelosi and lynch the Vice Pres.

While back at the White House Trump watched on TV
His patriot rioters filled him with glee
They’re doing just what he had ordered them to
Disrupting the vote count that Congress must do

The Capital Police led the Congressmen out
To places of safety but there’s little doubt
The timing was close, just ahead of the mob
Including Mike Pence, a superlative job

The one-six committee showed video clips
Of much of these happenings, comments and quips
And there was Josh Hawley, who thought he’d be spared,
Fast running the hallway; he clearly was scared

The Grand Old Party’s not so grand
Abandoned, they, democracy
Where e’er they’ve power in this land
They’ve claimed this latest idiocy

“This President, by name Joe Biden,
He’s just an Acting President
He stole it outright we’re confiding
Falsely there in residence”

“We, in this State don’t recognize
Nor owe allegiance to this man
So don’t give in or compromise
Else you just aren’t Republican”

We Democrats a choice have we
And, too, you true Republicans
To vote to save democracy
No issue matters greater than

Red, purple states all up and down
Where candidates espouse these lies
Don’t vote them in; do vote them out
Democracy is on the line

July the fourth is here, hooray
Parades and fireworks displays
And speeches all throughout the day
King George no longer rules our land

Our Independence lets us be
A nation, a democracy
Full rights for all ethnicities
All people equal in this land

But that is not what’s happening
Those conned by an extreme right wing
Had put in power a would-be king
Forever Trump would rule the land

Trump and McConnell stacked the Court
With justices who’d Rights abort
And leave to states this mess to sort
With fifty state-laws of the land

No longer the United States
Now 50 independent states
Where Rights are different, state to state
The Divided States, this once great land
