May Day 

You let him off easy
If you just say he's bad
Just a very bad person
Just another cad

The fate of our nation
He will rip away
Take away our freedoms
We should be shouting May Day

See No Evil

The news broke
But the people wouldn't listen 

He was impeached for his conduct
He was indicted for his crimes
Not just once, but 91 times

He was found guilty of sexual assault
But the people refused to believe him at fault

They closed their eyes
And their ears became heavy

He praised foreign dictators
While Washington and Lincoln he mocked
And our judicial system, he daily knocked

But the people turned and looked away
See no evil, hear no evil, was all they'd say

All This Talk of Trump

I'm not in to that
All this talk of Trump
I'm not into that at all
Said a guy sitting on a stump

It wasn't that he liked Trump
He just didn't care
It was just that the continous stream of news
Was something he couldn't bear

I tapped him on the soldier
As he sat on that stump
I said, if you would, please read this
And tell me if Trump is not a chump

I gave him all my poetry
And read it to him out loud
And while I was reading it
There gathered quite a crowd

Some of them clapped
Some of them booed
Some of them stomped their feet
Some of them praised him
As a man who could not be beat

I held my hand out to quiet the crowd
And pointed to my friend sitting on the stump
This man is sick of all the talk, I said
He's sick of all this chatter about Donald Trump

But as I spoke, the little man rose to his feet
Saying he wouldn't vote for Trump
Now, I thought that was awfully neat

 

They Who March for Freedom

They who march for freedom
They who march for right
The soldiers in this army
Carry freedom's light

The 2024 election
Is a battle they must win
Or liberty will be lost
Much to our chagrin

 

Hateriots

They wrap themselves in the American flag
And call themselves patriots
I wonder if we could coin a new name for them
And call them all hateriots
They hate the immigrant
Hate the poor
They hate a little
And then they hate some more

Make America Great Again
They say as they wrap the flag a little tighter around them

America remains a very great land
Always has been, and is to this day
But as much as that's true
And as much as it's nice
If these "patriots" take over
We'll be giving it all away

 
Fifty Poems I've Penned

Fifty states in the Union
And now 50 poems I've penned
I just wish I could publish them
So they wouldn't be lost in the wind

Fifty poems I've written
Fifty poems, I say
And now I want to publish them
So they'll never go away

 
Poem 51

I've now written 50 poems about Donald Trump
And as I come to 51, I reflect on all that I've done
The poems -- as poetry -- a few of them are good
But most are just adequate
But they've given me a chance to oppose him
And in that, I've been most adamant

Some are just rallying poems
And try to touch your emotions
Others appeal to reason
Saying there's enough to fill the oceans

Call them all anti- poems
For, yes, I guess they are
But if Trump is elected
Our nation will fall like a falling star
