What is happening to the America we loved?
Hopes Beginning to Wane
by HarryT
What has the Electoral College wrought?
A minority president that many fought
Countless hearts are in pain
Hopes beginning to wane
Our leader, a narcissistic sycophant
Appointing a cabinet of billionaire belligerents
A climate denier and two Wall Street connivers
An oil company exec probably a Russian pet
A billionaire educational ignoramus
A defense secretary mad dog famous
Planned Parenthood will disintegrate
Back alley abortionists will proliferate
Millions stripped of medical insurance
The poor to survive by their endurance
Unwelcome are Muslim immigrants
Even though they may be innocent
A president tweeting misinformation
A free press needed for our salvation
We need to call upon help from above
Without it, an end to the America we love
Concerned about the future? writing prompt entry
