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
