Limerick: Resistance (6-2-20)

  
It’s not that it’s just gotten worse
The reason is much more perverse
Racism today
Is on full display
Cause of cell phones in everyone’s purse
 
Cell phones do more to support
black lives than sheriffs and courts
if not for these tapes
bad men would escape
justice again they would thwart
 
And what of Trump’s stroll to St. Johns
And the folks he sic’d the cops on
With pepper gas
To clear his path
For a photo op on the church lawn
 
It’s clear what we’ve all got to do
Just vote blue no matter who
But Trump and his clan
Are hatching a plan
To make voting harder to do
 
He claims mail in ballots are fraught
With fraud, but we know they’re not
And Trump has admitted
If all voting’s permitted
The republican party is shot
 
So channel your anger and rage
Work hard now to set the stage
For the biggest turnout
And the greatest route
Of that party, let’s turn the page
