Their Populace Takes a Thump

The madness of the world
Lies in Putin, Xi and Trump
Those who take their populace
And give them a thump, thump, thump

I Beg to Differ, Agatha

I beg to differ, Agatha Christie
For I heard that you once said
"To every problem there is a most simple solution"
Agatha, would you be referring to a revolution?

There are a lot of problems in our land
A lot across all the world
There aren't easy answers, you know
Not even where the American flag is unfurled

You think it's easy Agatha?
Easy answers, you say?
I think we'll put you in charge of solving our problems
Now, Agatha, what do you have to say?

Eyes That Can't See

"Eyes will not see when the heart wishes them to be blind"
 Seneca the Younger once said
Was he speaking of those who voted for Trump?
To know, we'd have to bring him back from the dead

Trump supporters can't see his conviction for rape
They can't see the 90-plus indictments against him
Nor can they see he tried to overturn the election
No, in Donald Trump they can find no sin 

Eyes that cannot see?
That would be supporters of Donald Trump
The cannot see that he's a chump

 The Department Comes with a Stain


There is hypocrisy in it 
This Government Efficiency plan
Why two heads for the department?
Efficiency would just let one of them stand

And will they really crack down on contractors?
Musk is one of those
Try cutting his paycheck back
And that will be something he's sure to oppose

The department might prove a success
But the hypocrisy will remain
And the two-headed monster of Ramaswamy and Musk
Will leave on Trump's new department a stain

America when it was Shook

The Great Earthquake of 2024
It shook America
From ocean shore to ocean shore

It shook the people
It shook the land
It shook the music
It shook the band

Never so much damage
From just one earthquake
It took America
And did shake and shake

Shadows

Shadows join with shadows
All across this land
As Donald Trump is hailed
As the shadow man

Deep, and dark and deadly
The shadows are a curse
Darkness has never been as dark
Never been as worse 
 
Blue Skies Forgotten

America, America
We weep for you
The land of liberty
And clear blue skies
Is about to be through

For years, and decades and centuries
You've been the pillar of what's right
I wish we could have prevailed
I wish we'd won the fight
