Poem 68: Priorities

I watched the Caronavirus Task Force face the nation just the other day

I sat there in disbelief as Pence uttered all his lies while he was on full display

If you were to believe all the crap he said, you would thank God that you are still alive

And kiss the ass of Donald Trump because he’s the reason that we survive

He sat there with his straight face and spewed the praises of this man

Trying to convince the whole nation that they are doing the best they can

I think Pence truly believes the horse shit that he is trying to sell

The way the Republicans back this leader, it’s sometimes hard to tell

No one since he’s been elected has dared get in his way

They all seem to be backing him up no matter what he has to say

While the Vice President is busy embarrassing himself in front of all the reporters

Donald Trump has more important things that he wants to put in order

He’s more concerned about the confederate soldier statues that are being torn to the ground

This explains why the second in command is there and he’s nowhere to be found

He is more  obsessed with these former slave owners monuments and wants to keep them whole

Rather than trying to keep Americans alive, this is his chosen goal

New legislation to punish these people was his ultimate quest

This way he keeps his bigoted base happy, the hell with all the rest

The world has embraced the “Black Lives Matter” credo and have started to repair and mend

Trump’s preservation of this horrid heritage is what he has chosen to defend

Meanwhile at the press conference, Pence is showing he is as useless as his boss

When he was asked to answer just a few questions, he was at a total loss

Journalists asked him why he wasn’t complying with the advice the doctors had just said?

 Why they choose not to wear a mask and have their rallies inside instead?

He fumbled with his answers citing “freedom of speech” and “elections” was all that he could mutter

Then he continued to go off the rails and begin to quake and sputter

He then gathered up his entourage and out the doors they went

This would be the conclusion of this mockery of an event

So Trump is defending the “Confederates” who lost the Civil War

Still angry at all the protestors and intends to punish them more

He hasn’t come out and said that these Bad Cops deserve what they got

As far as “Black Lives Matter”, he hasn’t given it a second thought

He’s more concerned about his re-election than this virus that’s being spread

Focused more on his second term than the thousands of people that are dead

No Republican has had the guts to try to keep this man in tow

He continues to self destruct everywhere he goes

Five months before the election and how much worse could it get?

Those Republicans who sat by and watched, will they ever have regrets?

People are watching every move you make and the fortitude you lack

If you didn’t worry about Trump this first term, chances are you won’t be back
