STOP

Tied to his coat tails
Afraid to let go
Afraid to confront him
Afraid to say, no.

He threatens your job
Don’t know what to do
He is a bully
He will destroy you. 

Keeps up the pressure
To test your reserve
Will give you a nickname
That you don’t deserve. 

He’s loud and obnoxious
You know that he lies
He will embarrass you
Then tell you, Good Bye.

Wants you to bow down 
Demands your allegiance 
You’ll do what he says
Though it’s vile and egregious. 

How could this have happened?
How could this be?
Denouncing your honor
And, integrity.

He is a dictator
Why can’t you see?
He’s destroying our country
And, our democracy.

Stop being a coward
It’s not too late
Stand up against
The violence and hate.
