Year two-oh-two-four really what will you be?
A year of good cheer and of world harmony?
A year of advancement in civilization
With climate change-measures throughout every nation?
Alas, what I’m visioning won’t come to pass
Not this year nor next year nor years hence, alas
Our nation’s in turmoil, political mess
Just how things will turn out is anyone’s guess
Will our bold democracy, where we are free
And justice is just, still continue to be?
Or will Trump prevail bidding for leadership
And do as he’s said, form a dictatorship
So two-four and twenty it’s all in your hands
We aware can become or keep heads in the sand
We can vote to maintain what’s been our way of life
Or allow Trump to win, with the ensuing strife
