OUR COUNTRY

Don’t want to go
But, fear I must
Pack my bags
I’m in a rush.

Everything’s
Turned upside down
Our country now
Is run by clowns.

Rights are severed
We’re not safe
Things are bad
Will leave today.

Passport ready
Funds in place
Once I’m gone
Won’t leave a trace.

Not one to quit
To give it up
But, I have had
I’ve had enough.

No PBS,
No  NPR
The media’s|
Been crushed and scarred.

Women’s rights
Don’t exist
Diversity
A mere blacklist.

Government
Now overtaken
Justice ended
It’s forsaken.

The best is gone
Our USA
Who knew that things
Would end this way.

      1. I know, my friend. But consider this … our frustration is part of the point … if we become frustrated enough, we tune out, stop focusing on the real issues … and that’s just what Trump & Co. are hoping for. Let’s not give ’em the satisfaction!!! 🥰
