How Vulnerable

America, how vulnerable
America, how sad
Once no chance of a dictator
How could things go bad?

Make America great again?
Great is democracy's cry
But the country careens toward Donald Trump
And away from apple pie

 
 
Not a Different Flag

I was born in a different age
A different time
But not a different space
I was born under the American Flag
The flag of the United States

Never has there been a time like this
Never a challenge as great
Winds of change across our land
And I fear America's fate

I was born in a different age
A different time
But the flag remains the same
And if the flag with all its glory falls
It's we who are to blame

 
Bombs and Burials

Bombs and burials
One brings the other
One doesn't care
And the other screams for its mother

It wasn't a mother who created the bomb
Mothers know how to love
But it took a lunatic, surely it did
Someone who knew how to hate and shove

Blinded

I can't see a thing
Blinded
Bring me some ice cream

This wouldn't have happened to me, you know
If he wouldn't have told me where to go
I should never have listened to Donald Trump
He's just a guy who crawled out of the dump

Following Donald is a foolish thing
For a lot of sorrow is all it will bring
But just think: half of the nation is in love
With a man who will rule them with an iron glove 

 
We Need Pay Phones

Alas, no pay phones anymore? There should be, maybe not everywhere like they used to be, but we need a few.

Why? Because sometimes we don't want the person we are calling to know our number. For me, it was  fear of a scammer who seemed to be phishing.

 

Go to the Left

Go to the left
Before you go to the right
Be wary of the Rs
Some of them are villains
And some drive villain cars

They'd like to pick you up
They would
And take you for a ride
But if you knew better
I'm sure you'd run and hide

The Rs are the dangerous type
In this land of ours
They'd like to give Donald Trump
All these sickly powers

So, go to the left
Instead of the right
Avoid a dictator in our land
Your vote can make a difference
In getting rid of theat man

 

 
They Decided, We Decided

They decided we were liberals
We decided they were not 
They decided they wanted us to sleep outside|
We decided we wanted at  least a cot

They decided we were woke
We decided that was all right
They decided we were ignorant
We decided they were asking for a fight

Politics, politics
Always picking sides
And these are the people 
Who create the great divides
