No Socialism. No Sharia. Never!

by Reese Turner

Frankly, I don't give a damn from where you came
If you're here legal, born here, to me it's the same...
Your skin color or what you wear on your bod or head?
Not my concern. Be colorful, creative, you just go ahead!

But my Constitution is sacred. As is my "capitalism";
You fight against those and we have us a "schism".
You once suggest "socialism" as what we must do,
Then, our conversation is over; I'm then fightin' you!

You say "Sharia", I say, "here's the door, get out, fool!"
I've no patience with laws with such hate. Hate ain't cool.
You burn MY flag or, at MY anthem you kneel?
We're done. We're enemies now. With you I can't deal.

Do I sound like Trump? No, Trump sounds like me!
I've been "America First" since before I heard he!
I've been "Deplorable" forever, and I'm also a Vet.
I have guns, shop at Walmart.. Do I pray? You bet!

Never call me "racist" if disagreement we find;
I'm the "home of the brave, land of the free" kind!
I am an American, my kids are, my grand-kids, too -
And I'll back down to no-one -- including you!

Write a poem that will "ruffel the readers feathers"


An old Veteran is not a better American, but we can be very enthusiastic! Must have been the DI at boot camp who seemed so inflexible on several issues. Ya think?
God Bless America.
