Preying on the Poor

When your enemy is the poor
Your enemy is yourself
You cannot suppose it's right
To care only about oneself

When you try to make political hay
By denouncing migrant folk
You compassion and reason
Are all full of smoke

Trump campaigns
On getting rid of the migrants
Such audacity, at best
Lies in the heart of tyrants

Vote for him, if you will
But it shows you don't care for the poor
And if our nation lacks values
We're rodden to the core

 

Closer to Home

Things that bring you closer to home
Things that send you away
Choices  and voices
-- Your decisions and who you listen to --
Both determine your way

You can choose to do right
You can choose to do wrong
It's you who decides
Where it is you belong

You can listen to wisdom
Or send it away
Listening instead to a fool
As he captures your sway

So make the right choices
And listen to the right voices
And a pleasant home is the place
Where you'll come to lay

The Great False Hope

The Christian Alternative
Donald Trump is portrayed as that
The Last Christian Hope
For Christ he goes to bat

They met in the National Mall
Tens of thousands of  them
They were straight in what they had to say
They didn't haw and hem

"If we don't stand now, the enemy will take over"
That's the message that they had
So side with Trump, or side with all that's bad

Meanwhile, Glenn Beck gave a message
One that was much the same
Judeo Christians must swarm the polls
Or the land will be lost to Satan's game

It just ain't so, it just isn't true
But Trump is portrayed as the Christian Hope
So we pray that voters will see the fraud
And not fall for his dope

The charlatan is sly
And crafty with his words
But turn away the man of deceit
For wickedness must be purged

 
Fervor and Flame

It takes faith and fearlessness
To achieve much in life
You need passion and pride
And determination to overcome all strife

It takes grit, it takes growth
You must never quit
So make that your oath

It takes a heady steadiness
Yes, a head that won't be bowed
It takes fervor and a flame within
To blow through every cloud

Build your resume, if you will
On the things that bring success
You can achieve most anything
If you will accept no less

 
 
No Regard

You fooled us, Donald
You fooled us
Coming down the pike
You fooled us

All along
We thought you wanted to win
But coming down the pike
It seems you're doing everything you can
To make your chances thin

What's with being so handsy
With Laura Loomer?
You're already married, Donald
So that isn't very good humor

You went to Detroit
To seek its votes
But mocked the city
And your words were caught in quotes

You rambled and rambled
And rambled on
People thought you were crazy
Yeah, they played that song

You referred to Maine's female governor
As a man
Donald, it appears you're doing everything to lose
That you possibly can

People can see through your trade tariff wars
They know prices will rise
How does it make them feel?
Well, it gives them great horrors

You talk of how kids go to school
And come back of a different sex
Oh, Donald, oh, Donald
Are we to believe such a hex?

Your misinformation on hurricane aid
Has endangered the workers
As death threats were made

Alas, Donald, oh Donald
For all your best efforts
And trying so hard
It seems you'll win anyway
For all of your faux pas
Voters will all disregard

 
 
Yet It Be Unborn

The life of a child
Though yet it be unborn
Let it be cherished
Not from its mother torn

The life of a child
Is precious as gold
It belongs in our company
It belongs in our fold

The life of a child
Is a gift from our God
Though it be unborn
He gives it his nod

 
Waters Rise

The waters rise
The coming taste of a storm
Settles on our lips
America is beset
By hurricanes
And politics

The populace
Doesn't shift
From going to work
And coming home
Then back to work

Impervious
It is
To the storm

That
Might
Drown
Us
