It’s time we take precautions
During this global mass pandemic As we see American ignorance Becoming quite systemic. Refusing to wear masks To protect us from this virus As they scream of pride and freedom Uninformed political bias. Spreading deadly germs and hate No one must dare oppose them Because their “patriotic pride” And the stupidity of some. So let’s wash our hands of idiots Who refuse to trust in science Disinfect our country of this purge A bleach and light alliance. The President suggested it Let’s give him what he wants See how great it kills Corona A wise leadership response. He’s such a brilliant man He says so all the time Don’t question his authority He’s a leader who’s sublime.

There’s a Covidiot in the House
He’s making quite a mess His incessant foolish rambles Are causing great distress. Injecting bleach and UV Lights His suggestions are absurd Our country is in shambles With every uttered word. Amidst a global mass pandemic This virus is contagious And if it doesn’t kill us His words are just as dangerous. How do we save America From the Covidiot in the House? It’s time for a deep cleaning To eliminate the louse. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/trump-suggests-injecting-disinfectant-to-fight-coronavirus/ Standing at the podium
He stood so tall and proud His smile spread across his face And his voice boomed bold and loud The jets flew ‘cross the sky The rain began to pour He started to tell stories Of the Revolutionary War. But there was something new I’d never heard before History now revised Of long gone days of yore. Fort McHenry’s rockets Were from a different war And “our Army manned the air”? Oh wait, but there is more! “It took over the airports” But planes had yet to be. It seems our brilliant President Should retake History. At a recent rally, Trump began to reflect upon the Revolutionary War and how we "took over the airports" as well as referencing Fort McHenry's rockets, which were from a different war. (Revolutionary war was in 1775....airplanes invented in 1903). https://time.com/5620936/donald-trump-revolutionary-war-airports/ They say he is inept
Its really rather true Ignorant of history Incompetent in spelling Incoherent in his speech Oblivious of laws Crude in his language Maladroit with the media Inferior in his knowledge He encapsulates ineptitude Correct therefore to conclude. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/07/07/donald-trump-uk-ambassador-inept-leaked-memos/1668952001/ We’ve become the idiots
We’ve become the fools Do we really think it wise To let him make the rules? We fear one day our government May rise against its people Oligarchical oppression ‘Cuz it’s dangerous and evil. Our government spends billions On weapons every year Yet we think our guns will save us From political mutineer But our guns won’t do a thing To stop these massive weapons A feeble, foolish hope Towards governments’ transgressions. Yet we cheer on this same leader To build a bigger wall That traps us and contains us We’re the biggest fools of all. For if we ever need To flee this domination The wall would be our fall And end to our salvation. Just ‘cuz he’s president
Doesn’t make him smart It’s really rather evident He’s missing some spare parts Incompetent, Incapable, Inept Commander in “Cheif” Our country is in trouble Dear lord, my god, good greif! Trump continues to misspell words--even his own title, "Commander in Cheif". https://www.independent.ie/world-news/and-finally/trump-mocked-for-misspelling-chief-in-tweet-about-his-negotiating-skills-38053449.html It’s too much work
To read the briefs It hurts my head I think instead… I’ll watch Fox News. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/364094-trump-watches-at-least-four-hours-of-tv-per-day-report How many “likes” today?
I really need to know It helps me set my policies And those I should forego. 20,000 likes today I better bomb Iran. But look at North Korea Emoji face with frown. Everybody loves my tweets They’re the greatest in the land. But Russian bots like me the most America be damned. I recently read the following article referencing how Trump uses Twitter and social media “likes” to help set/shape his policies. What a dangerous precedent/“president” to set. http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/05/how-trump-uses-likes-and-retweets-to-shape-policy.html “He eats your soul in small bites”
With a glass of diet coke A large side of fries and tacos Let’s hope he starts to choke “He eats your soul in small bites" His lips glow white and foamy Rabid eyes are growing wild We thank you Mr. Comey https://www.huffpost.com/entry/james-comey-william-barr-trump-influence_n_5cc9d170e4b0e4d7572cbb09 Who is the puppet master
Who pulls the magic string Of the leader of our country Who thinks that he is king I really have to wonder I really have to think No one can be this stupid We must’ve been hoodwinked What was it we were missing That led us down this path? Narcissistic billionaire With signs of a psychopath. I’m not sure how we got here I’m not sure how to fix it Let’s find the puppet master And in the bud we nip it. New Zealand’s darkest day
As 49 were murdered By ignorance and fear When hatred was asserted. Killed for their beliefs Lives ended way too soon. Our hearts are torn apart His actions we impugn. Helpless and frustrated That fascism is to blame. Dozens killed and slaughtered Solely as a game. “They are us” We are them If only we could learn. It’s not too late to change But for them there’s no return. https://www.npr.org/2019/03/18/704671790/new-zealand-pm-ardern-urges-her-nation-to-make-gunman-nameless His nose is growing longer
His strings are coming loose His fingers are too small And he’s totally obtuse. He’s quite the foolish jackass An oblivious buffoon As we slowly get sucked in His political cartoon. Change the channel, turn it off Step aside and walk away Let’s all watch something different Disregard the donkey’s bray. My dear ol’ Mr. Melania
I’m really not so fond of ya You’re a lying, cheating hack, An adulterous air sack, A deceitful little liar, A climate change denier, A pompous propagandist, Who thinks he is the grandest, A military dodger, An 80 yr old toddler. I'm really not so fond of ya My dear ol’ Mr Melania. I wrote this after Mr. Melania tried to insult George Conway by calling him Mr. Kellyanne Conway. https://www.yahoo.com/news/kellyanne-conway-bristles-apos-really-202302548.html It’s all a giant witch hunt.
There’s nothing here to see. It’s him... No, her... Or maybe them... But surely can’t be me. I’ve done nothing amiss. No clearly, nothing’s wrong. Hide the horns upon my head Where this halo must belong. I’ll show you who’s the witch. I’ll tell you who to charge. “Hillary for prison!” My motto by and large. “Lock her up!” Give me the key Collusion is the crime. Corrupt in every aspect. Impending prison time. But not for me, Oh no sir-ee I’m innocent you’ll see. This witch hunt is illegal ‘Cuz it's bad publicity. We’re shutting down on Christmas
We’re closing all our doors We’re building a big wall Built by our Army corps. Immigrants are banned Leave and go back home We don’t want you to pollute Our perfect white genome. Drugs, crime, and rapists Are all that you will bring Scream the red-faced yelling men From the panicked far right-wing. Mothers and their babies Are radical guerrillas Trained in special ops To be murderers and killers Absurd, you say? I thought so too But oh how wrong we are For the political paranoia Has gotten quite bizarre Tis the reason for the season To send those in need away We’ll call you names And throw you back Then sit at home and pray. |
