Poem 287: Dictator Wannabe

Patriotic quotes to honour “America” is what I looked up today

All said by “Americans” and they believed what they had to say

“Where liberty is, there is my country” is a “Benjamin Franklin” quote

“This is your democracy, make it, protect it, pass it on” is what “Thurgood Marshall” wrote

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg” said “America welcomes all kinds of people to its shores”

She must be rolling in her grave because that certainly doesn’t apply anymore

There was so many excerpts to read and see

Just for an example I only chose these two or three

These people believed in what they had to say

What would they think if they were alive today?

With this man back in charge, “America” has seemed to have lost its glow

The rest of the  world is wondering how much lower they can go?

He’s alienated so many countries with his “tariffs” ploy

His fellow “Republicans” stand behind him with their “attaboys”

He’s deporting immigrants whether they’re legal or not

They have masked marauders who are arresting them on the spot

He has so many law suits pending and they come at quite a cost

Of the ones that were presented, 96% of them he’s lost

The “Supreme Court” gave him a ruling to stop this immigration abuse

He just continues to ignore them, so what’s the use?

He sent his “National Guards” to a peaceful protest in “L.A.”

It wasn’t getting violent until they got in the way

Meanwhile in “Washington D.C.” traffic is behind and delayed

That’s because all the military equipment is arriving for his parade

This will show his dictator buddies that he has the ultimate power

He can pretend he is one of their group for at least a couple of hours

Between twenty five and fourty five million for this “parade and festival show”

Another sixteen million dollars more to street repairs after they go

This is to mark the 250th anniversary of the “U.S. Army” as a celebratory event

It just happens to fall on “Donald Trump’s” 79th birthday, so it’s money well spent?

He will stand on his pulpit and talk of the so-called L.A. riots of course

This insane extravaganza could just turn out a whole lot worse
