Blowin’ In The Wind


Yes and how many times must your President lie
That too many lies have been told?
Yes and how so confused must his utterances get
Before people see he’s too old?
Yes and how many tax breaks for billionaire friends
While robbing the rest of their gold?
The answer, no guise, is right before your eyes
The answer is right before your eyes

Yes and how many times must our troops be deployed
To attack demonstrators? Not nice!
Yes and how many innocent lives be destroyed
By masked, armed policemen called ICE?
Yes and how the Republicans appear overjoyed
To do Trump’s agenda of vice?
The answer, no guise, is right before your eyes
The answer is right before your eyes

Yes and how more severe must the weather become
Before man admits climate change?
Yes and how many floods, droughts, tornadoes to come
At levels above hurricanes?
Yes and how many millions will be displaced from
Seas that are rising above walls built in vane?
The answer, no guise, is right before your eyes
The answer is right before your eyes

Yes and how many millions of people will die
So one can declare himself King?
Yes and how many Congressmen their morals defy
So they can kiss the king’s ring?
Yes and how many years ‘till the world says goodbye
Deciding a king’s not their thing?
The answer, no guise, is right before your eyes
The answer is right before your eyes

Day of Independence



On this day of Independence,
Year two hundred forty nine
We’re politically dependent
On the whims of just one man

Republicans just caved to Donald
Passed his ugly legislation
Left the lower classes troubled
Billionaires now all elated

What’s in the bill is bad enough
Millions lose their health insurance
Life for them will turn to tough
‘Twill be a matter of endurance

But what I want to talk about
Is Senators Republican
Who knew the bill was bad, no doubt
To vote a NO, they said they can’t
Since Trump would make life miserable
He’d put an end to their career
He knows where they are vulnerable
He wouldn’t stop. Of this they fear

So, if you’re one who voted yea
You gave Trump power over you
You proved you’ll do what e’er he says
And vote the way he wants you to
The fact the bill is terrible
For those who cast their vote for you
You’ve made their lives unbearable
You weren’t elected them to screw

But, hey, you’re still a senator
With ‘honorable’ before your name
With all the trappings ministered
Your senate seat still has your name
But power you no longer have
You’ve given it away to Trump
Your base, no longer you they love
You’ve proven you’re a simple chump

There’s one thing more, I might opine
Its time for you your post resign

Where Have All The Soldiers Gone?


Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
There in the sun
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to L.A. every one
Trump, to there, them he sent
Ordered guard the residents

Where have residents all gone?
Can’t say what’s happening
Where have residents all gone?
Nobody’s there
Where have the city dwellers gone?
Nobody lives L.A. downtown
Most peaceful place in all the town
Troops bored to death, so drug me down

Where have soldier addicts gone?
Where at they’re staying
Where have soldier addicts gone?
Their family’s praying
Where have all the addicts gone?
Some to an addicts rehab place
Some to the gutter in disgrace
And some rejoin Trump, soldiering

Old Black Joe


Gone are the days when our laws had their true power
Gone, under Trump, he could hardly go much lower
Gone from our courts to the judgements Trump endeavors
I hear the devil’s minions laughing,”Do, evil Trump!”
I’m doing!
I’m doing!
With my head deep in the dump
I kill them by the multimillions
Old, evil Trump

Down By The Riverside


Gonna lay-down my sword and shield
Right on the. While House lawn
That era’s time is gone
Ours but to carry on
Ain’t gonna study war no more

Gonna hoist up the flag of peace
Right on the White House lawn
Some day when Trump is gone
With Love to build upon
Ain’t gonna lie and cheat no more

Gonna wake from this lovely dream
Still lying in my bed
Preparing for my day ahead
What Trump might do I truly dread
Ain’t gonna sit sidelines no more

Gonna work for democracy
With every chance I get
Do what I can. You bet
You ain’t seen nothing yet
Ain’t gonna close my eyes no more
