HEARTLESS

Why can’t you see through
The lies he told you?
The promises made
All the hate and the rage?

Why can’t  you believe
In this time of great need?
He is  damaged, unkind
He is out of his mind.

So crass and so loud
That’s all he’s about
He needs the applause
Says he’s building a wall.

Repeat and repeat
Things that simply aren’t true
If he says them enough 
He’ll convince even you. 

He is weak, thinks he’s tough
Full of bluster and bluff
Wants to control
He is callous and bold.

Out for the money
The power, the fame
Scamming and taking
The name of his game.

I pray to God
Every morning and night….
Help us thru these dark times
Please show us the light.

Can’t take anymore 
Of his lies and his scams 
He’s the devil incarnate
A sad, heartless man.
