Limerick: I Can’t Breath (6-1-20)

Reflecting on the month of May
Elicits such shock and dismay
If you’re poor or black
It’s an all-out attack
Our country’s in complete disarray
 
It’s the radical left, claims Bill Barr
Could he possibly be more bizarre?
Trump defames the press
And he couldn’t care less
Let’s vote out this lunatic Tsar
 
100K people have died
His scheme is to lie and divide
Stoke racist factions
Create distractions
This can no longer be brushed aside
 
More outrage old Trump now does spark
On dangerous path he embarks
He tweets out that looting
yes, will lead to shooting
That’s not an harmless remark
 
This blatant injustice laid bare
And a leader who just doesn’t care
We need transformation
In this broken nation
Come November, Donald beware
 
Yet he wants a normal convention
Crammed in with no masks, did I mention?
His need to see hordes
And to be adored
Is simply beyond comprehension
 
When many face hunger and worry
McConnell says he’s in no hurry
to provide relief
or to end their grief
Voters must now show their furry
 
Antifa gets terrorist label
But Nazis? - a seat at his table
No healing speech
Just hate-filled tweets
Vote him out as soon as we’re able
 
Trump now scolds governors, and
of Mayors he now does demand
“You must dominate!”
How he does berate
Hate is his law of the land
 
Frustration and anger abound
at a system that’s kept people down
The same ones now whom
Are more likely doomed
By COVID, researchers have found
 
Let’s harness this anger and fury
Create a big bright blue flurry
If we mobilize  
The voters will rise
As Trump’s final true judge and jury
