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
