The Puppet Master’s Parade

Never mind the flash bang grenades,
He’s staging a birthday parade.
Forget about the National Guard,
Trump wants MAGA to party hard.
Watch out for the stooges of ICE,
No mercy there, no playing nice.
In the USA today,
Trump determined to have it his own damn way.
He been preparing for this for eight years,
Don’t care whose blood, whose sweat, whose tears.
As long as it’s not his own.
A coward’s throne he claims, well known.
Been another terrible news week.
We’re all on a terrible losing streak.
Golf course warlord, lies on repeat,
Controlling truth from his golf cart seat.
He will deport the children,
Ignoring cries, their futures stolen.
It’s an age of maximum disruption,
Ideological corruption,
This state of uncertain thoughts,
Cruelty sought, destruction wrought.
This period of uncertainty,
Searching externally.
This nightmare’s no mystery,
Fits into our history,
Trump’s wet dream of control,
As American as cherry pie.
