Month: January 2025

Today Pres. Trump revealed his wisdom
His first first day as President
He pardoned those convicted of
Attacking cops protecting him

He called them heroes, patriots
While undermining justice, law
This after swearing to uphold
The Constitution, law of land

They will become his private army
Answering to only him
Above the law; to foment fear
In those who would oppose the Trump
Our now and would-be king

In Trump we’ll see democracy’s demise
Already on day one first blows he’s struck
As President, Trump can do anything
The Court ensured that he cannot be touched

Its my intention, lines that are un-rhymed
To mimic Trump’s regime these next four years
But there’ll reason in what e’er he does
To grow in wealth and keep his power strong

Today goodbye to decency and actions one can trust
Today hello to gross deceits and power hungry lusts
It is inauguration day
For Trump it’s retribution day
He knows he’ll always get his way
Watch out Liz Chaney! Hide you immigrants illegal, yes
Trump’s out to force you out or jailed. For you there’ll be no rest

Today the Earth is spinning backwards. Yesteryears are here
Today the news becomes fake news; the White House beaming fear
Where mediocracy holds sway
While oligarchs with lust make hay
Until they’re bored and go their way
Four years of chaos, years that might spawn wars
It will be hard surviving Trump, surviving what’s in store

Today you wonder what will be and how affect the ME
Today the future dwells in fog. There’s little one can see
Now Trump’s hell bent rewarding wealth
While slashing funds designed to help
Us little guys – the hand we’re dealt
But it was WE who voted Trump as President
Historical stupidity, it’s clearly evident

Thank You, Joe

Fair well to you Joe President
The fifty years that you have spent
Supporting whom you represent
The good you’ve done is evident
We thank you

As President your fair-well speech
Revealed accomplishments you’ve reached
Unparalleled your legacy
But you had so much more to teach
We applaud you

The oligarchy threat is real
The new regime’s intent revealed
Your safety net Trump will repeal
Enriching billionaires, his deal
We hear you

Democracy is in your hands
The dangers you must understand
Against dictators you must band
Or else democracy won’t stand
We honor you

So what are we in for this coming four years?
More days like today filled with Trump’s empty claims
Like purchasing Greenland or take it by force
Or annexing Canada? Par for the course
‘Twas at his news conference Trump stated these aims
Which never will happen; distractions, it’s clear

He randomly rambled with lie after lie
Making it up as he spoke without end
Hiding intentions, what really he’ll do
Like slash the entitlements, Medicare too
While cutting the taxes for his wealthy friends
A master at duping the press with his lies

So, yes, I expect it chaotic to be
A jumble of info, some true, mostly false
Suppression of real news, what Trump labels fake
News like the times when he’s out on the make
Trump’s actions erratic can raise your heart’s pulse
Let’s hope after four years the country’s still free
