great again

he is a sun kissed mystery with
no need for science or history
bravely enjoying all that money can buy

a product of evolution and socialization
sprinkled liberally with capitalistic indoctrination

he is leading his nation backward to be — great again

the industrial revolution
with exploited workers and pollution — great again

favored immigrants status
isolation from the world
pray for a william jennings bryant:
“i do not think about the things i do not think about” — great again

troubles with germans, russians, turks
troubles with mudslinging writers
troubles with …great again…great again…great again

he is a sun kissed mystery with
no need for science or history
bravely enjoying all that money can buy
