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

Tulsa Oklahoma was the place to be

Donald Trump, the man everyone came to see

One million ticket requests from people who all wanted to go

The venue too small, what about the overflow?

Construction of a stage outside the stadium for all of the fans

Promise to appear before all of them as well, he’s doing the best that he can

Twenty thousand on the inside while another fourty thousand out

Catering to all his adoring base is what “The Donald” is all about

People are pouring into town two days before it’s set to go

With this huge demand for tickets, they all want to attend the show

Imagine sitting in line for fourty eight hours to see this event

I don’t think I would consider this as time that was well spent

A few hours before his performance they start letting people into this place

This is when they first realize that they still have all sorts of space

Seems they overestimated their predictions on the attendance by quite a lot

Hopefully this is an indication that he isn’t as popular as he thought

Mike Pence started the event with a speech from the start

While all the busy workers were taking the outside stage apart

Turns out they didn’t need this venue because there was nobody there

All of his attendees were ushered into the stadium with plenty of space there to share

The grand sum of sixty two hundred people showed up for this day

Trump says it was the “fake news” and the “protestors” that chased them away

So many empty seats of blue surrounding this fraudster

Listening intently to this Presidential imposter

This past couple of weeks is starting to expose the man for what he is really all about

Those that have all backed him must be experiencing some doubt

I hope this is an indication and I hope this is a experience that will repeat

If I had a chance of meeting this man I wouldn’t even consider crossing the street

I ended up wasting some of my time and watched his performance in front of his “base”

He walked back and forth as his continued to lie right to their face

Comments he made about Covid testing, Republicans are trying to pass off as a joke

This isn’t the case, I watched how he maneuvered and I watched how he spoke

Don’t believe for a second this Republican made rumour

You know Donald Trump possesses no sense of humour

Trump backers are falling off this bandwagon that they have been ridin’

Here’s hope they all dust themselves off and vote for Joe Biden

Experts agree that watching too much news can have a bad effect on you

They recommend taking a break as something you should do

My wife and I have certainly put in our time in watching CNN most of our day

This has become part of our routine we practice every day

We both have our tablets and we will play our favourite game

When we scan the channels, the shows we watch are the same

HGTV and DIY networks are the ones we watch the most

Thanks to having the east to west feeds, we can watch them coast to coast

Home Town, My Lottery Dream Home and Property Brothers, just to name a few

We are on a first name basis with Ben, Erin, Dave and of course, Scott and Drew

We aren’t parked in front the set from the morning until night

You’ll find us relaxing on our front porch when the weather’s warm and bright

There is another broadcaster that my wife will often play

Do I admit to watching this? I refuse to say

When we are tired of watching all the news which usually involves Trump and his scandals

That’s when my wife will decide it’s time to tune into the Hallmark Channel

I can honestly say that I haven’t watched any of these movies from the beginning to the end

But I will give you a spoiler alert, all the movies on this station seem to follow the same trend

The main character’s first partner isn’t usually there when the movie is finally done

The one that they end up with is always the second one

If you watch any of them at Christmas, the plot is still the same

They are all basically the same characters, but they just have different names

Before you get to the end of the movie, this couple will have an argument or a major fight

You know the picture is finally over when they kiss and then reunite

You are going to see actors, and wonder where did you see them last?

Chances are it was the last movie you just finished, because they use the same cast

I think all their movies are done all at once in a special space

They just get all their actors to run from place to place

Do their scene, then off to wardrobe to the next one

Continue this for months on end until every film is done

The money they save on location sites alone would pay the actors wages

This could also help them when they have to build new stages

This just sums up any Hallmark movie starting from A to Z

Ask anyone who watches them and I’m sure they will all agree

I myself have given up on all these Hallmark movies because I have found something better to do

I’ve dedicated all my valuable time to watching “Letterkenny”, I just finished season two

The protests are still flourishing and other countries have now joined in

One can only hope that some serious changes will begin

“Black Lives Matter” is a slogan that is being echoed everywhere

Nations the whole world over should now be well aware

Seems like people in high places are now starting to come around

I hope these promises aren’t all empty and they get off the ground

You have to be totally blind not to see the injustice being done

I only wish this cause could be embraced by everyone

We have to be realistic knowing that we will never attain that goal

Thanks to all those bigots and racists who are born without a soul

To them hating minorities is a pleasure that they prefer

Discrimination has been practiced for generations and continues to endure

Ku Klux Klan and White Supremacists are the first groups that come to mind

Participants in these organizations can be hard to find

This side of their lifestyle is not out in full display

They prefer to keep this part of their life hidden anyway

So they hide behind their cloaks and lies and think that no one knows

Being that their race is so superior, how come they refuse to expose?

Racists can be found no matter where you go

Not all of them are enemies, they may be even friends you know

Some when watching these protests may not experience any empathy at all

Others may view the whole proceedings and get that wakeup call

How can people view these murder scenes and not be affected you have to ask?

That’s why this road to equality is such a monumental task

It certainly doesn’t help when you have a man like “Trump” in charge

For the mass majority, he’s the enemy at large

This guy is doing everything to get re-elected in November

As far as all these “hate groups” go, he’s a chartered member

He brought in the manpower to dominate these groups

He’s even using the national guard as his own  private troupe

He had a street cleared of peaceful protestors to show some of his might

These people were pepper sprayed and run over without even putting up a fight

After the crowd was herded out, he headed to that space

He took a bible in his hand and held it in that exact place

A form of intimidation to scare these crowds away

There he stood like a moron and had no words to say

Then they took a picture of white people in front of this parish

This photo op was something that no one in America has chosen to cherish

Yesterday a few words about “George Floyd” were mentioned in the speech he said

He chose to concentrate on the economy instead

He said “George” must be smiling from above because everything is going so well

He only bothered to mention his first name, his last name he chose not to tell

I only hope that when Trump dies, he gets to see his life as we really know

Once again his sight will be obstructed because he will be looking from below

At least twenty five cities issuing curfews on Saturday night.

Trump treating the situation as an election fight

Threatening with numerous weapons and the most vicious dogs that there ever has been

Other than on twitter, he is nowhere to be seen

When the protestors got close to the White House, it must have given him a scare

Reports are that they put him in a bunker for him and his family to share

They should have put him in alone so he could be safe as can be

Lock it up tightly and make sure he’s secure when they turn the key

Then get all of the staff to clear out of the entire space

Then give the protestors directions to his hiding place

But before vacating be sure to slip the key in one of the protestor’s vest

Then leave the premises and let the “stable genius” handle the rest

I would love to see the look on his face once they opened the door

He certainly would be in a position that he has never been in before

He would be in total shock when the group leader would say

Just try to relax because we don’t want to hurt you in any way

We came to tell you how we feel and ask for your help in our cause

Settle all of our grievances and repair all the flaws

Let’s negotiate in faith and fix everything that is wrong

Resolve all of our disputes and finally all get along

They would stay until everyone agreed and then all join in and sing

Trump would lead the chorus as they headed for the west wing

All they discussed would be enacted and put in their place

No fear of prejudice would be experienced by the whole human race

You know you can’t believe this story for one single bit

Donald Trump is a liar, a bigot and so full of shit

He is the one promoting the hatred and division all through this land

Why do so many people find it so hard to understand?

The people who are protesting have a right to be mad as hell

Those of us who have compassion should join in as well

For centuries black people have been targets of hate

Their ancestors were all kidnapped, they didn’t choose their fate

Martin Luther King and Kennedy tried to start the healing but were gunned down for their acts

Six decades have passed and these people are still under attack

Hopefully in a few months, Trump’s reign will be done

The hate will only increase if he has another four year run

People are constantly filming on their phones when they are about

By watching the streams, maybe these bigots will finally figure it out

What we have witnessed should not come as a surprise

Just look at the facts that are in front of your eyes

I’m so sorry so many black people live in fear when they walk on their way

I only hope that Martin Luther King’s dream will come true in my day

George Floyd, a black man murdered in broad daylight for everyone to see

Begging for his life while the policeman held him down with his one knee

The back of George’s neck was the place where the pressure was applied

All four officers ignored his plea and as a result, this poor man died

This happened on a street in Minneapolis and the people filming are telling them to stop

As you watch the whole video, no assistance was offered by any other cop

Earlier this month, another video surfaced for all of us to view

Thanks to those who leaked it out, we now know what is true

This incident had actually occurred in February and still nothing had been done

As a result of this, two men were charged, a father and his son

Ahmaud Arbery, a black man, was jogging down a Georgia Street this one day

This is when George McMichael and his son Travis got in his way

The father is a retired cop and his son happened to be there too

They presume that Ahmaud is a burglar and they decide to pursue

Because they are still in their front yard they grab a rifle and gun

Meanwhile Arbery is oblivious to this and continues on his run

The father and son in their pickup eventually get in his way

Ahmaud put up a fight, but this unarmed man would end up dying this day

These are just two incidents that thanks to videos show how bad these men were treated

How many times through the decades have these scenarios been repeated?

The policemen in Minneapolis should all be charged for what they have done

All of them arrested for murder like that father and his son

Why do these white people think they are such a superior race

When I look through history, slavery and ownership was a big disgrace

With this President at the helm, racism has reared its ugly head

Hatred is flourishing while compassion is now dead

One knee down for racial inequality and police brutality was the way NFL players took their stand

Trump went ballistic and said these players were all getting out of hand

I may be cynical but when I look at that awful video, here is what I see

The policeman seems to be mocking all the NFL players taking their position on that one knee

As for a response from Trump, I don’t think he will have much to say

He is probably enjoying the way things went down anyway

Wisconsin, thanks to their Supreme Court, is now an open State

I hope all the constituents are ready to accept their chosen fate

You see their Democratic Governor wanted to keep things manageable and go from day to day

The Republican led Supreme Court ruled otherwise, then threw the keys away

Now it’s wide open and the Wisconsonites are free

Donald Trump cheered the decision, imagine how happy he must be

This I think would be a good base to screen the country through

The Government should get on board and here’s what they should do

First, let all the residents out who have chosen not to stay

They don’t want to catch the virus and they have chosen not to play

Then you scour the Country and search for other folks

Start out with those people who think this pandemic is a Democratic hoax

Pay them for their visit and in the meantime we keep a tally

Maybe for incentive they can attend a Presidential rally

While this is happening, let the rest of the Nation have some fun

This way the process can be shared by everyone

You can have a lottery and get a number that would be assigned to a person there

The money they collect could be put towards each contestant’s care

Set a capacity for the population that could fit comfortably in this space

If someone succumbs to the virus, assign another to take their place

The new substitute’s number will still remain the same

This is how the ticket buyers will win this gambling game

The jackpot would go to the number that ends up being issued more than all the rest

In reality you would be pulling for the sickest instead of those who feel their best

Don’t look for the medical staff when you’re not feeling fine

You waved that privilege when you signed on that dotted line

This will be the only competition and you will have to catch it on pay per view

This will enable the Government to collect more revenue

Trump can pass out his hydroxychloroquine tablets as rivals come through the door

The quantities are unlimited in case you require some more

 You can also ingest some Lysol spray and soak up all those ultra violet rays

Those are for those special followers who believe in everything he says

If you come to your senses and wish to get away from the rest

You will be quarantined for two weeks and must pass the required test

After a few weeks, those that are still alive

Might realize how lucky they are that they managed to survive

Perhaps it will finally sink into his followers that this virus is for real

After going through this process, Trump may lose some of his appeal

His disciples will finally see him for the moron that the rest of us have learned to hate

They’ll read all the tweets he posted and at long last get things straight

All of them, as a result, will be shaken to the core

They will refuse to endorse this clown anymore

Upset and puzzled how easily they have been deceived

Knowing now how little this man has actually achieved

We thought this pandemic would be the greatest of all our fears?

Can you fathom having Trump as President for another four more years?

Hats off to George, Rob and Lisa who are the players in the band

Abigail and Shannon are all integral members that are there to give a hand

Count on all these five members to put a smile upon your face

You might have seen them in your area as they roam from place to place

They have unselfishly put their time in to performing as a group

I, myself have had the pleasure of listening to this local troupe

They performed Friday in our neighbourhood which was someone’s birthday treat

This all made us look forward to Monday, which was our scheduled meet

All the neighbours were here to greet them here last night

To deliver their recital, brought everyone there, delight

When their Brookes Street performance ended they headed to Franklin, the next block

Those of us who wanted more, while practicing social distancing, took a little walk

We all considered ourselves lucky to get another chance to see

Counting up this bonus gig would make the grand total, number three

We highly recommend everyone to support this little band

Take a look around while they’re playing and you will understand

Look at all the smiling faces and the pleasure they bestow

If they are coming to your street, I recommend you go

They have been doing their mini concerts each and every day

If you have a special occasion, you can book them to play

Donations are accepted, but they aren’t there for the wealth

They truly are a benefit for your mental health

Once again thank you for the sounds from your tight knit crew

Just keep on  spreading the happiness and continue doing what you do

Have you been using your time wisely since we’ve all been shut in?

Are you enjoying the peace and quiet?  Is your patience wearing thin?

Have you been enjoying the time with your children since the school closing took effect?

Or have you decided to strip your whole house down to clean and disinfect?

It’s now been over six weeks since this closure has been imposed

I have had my ups and downs but I like to think I’ve stayed composed

What have I actually accomplished? It’s probably next to none

It got me to wondering if everything were normal what could have been done?

If I had my whole house renovated, the job would have been through

If I had the money, I would have hired the brothers Scott and Drew

I could be watching the hockey playoffs if things were right

Do you think your favourite team would still be in the fight?

I could have been taking guitar lessons and now be able to play a song

Maybe I could have learned one that we could all sing along

I could have taken French lessons online and be able to say a phrase or two

Instead of just remembering chien and merci beaucoup

Would the Raptors still be competing in the playoff race?

Or would they be defeated and some other team poised to take their place?

These are just random thoughts that were going through my mind

Who knows what we missed out on since we’ve been confined?

I can tell you that watching television is the most that we do

What does one watch? I haven’t a clue

Cruising the web or playing games online is in overdrive

For some people, this is the only way they survive

They don’t want you to leave your house and take a car ride

One thing I would recommend is just go outside

My wife and I went for a walk yesterday hand in hand around our block

We were reading encouraging messages on the pavement that were written in chalk

The next day we washed every single window and vacuumed each screen

It’s amazing how much more you see when every pane is now clean

I raked every square inch of the property on my modest estate

The next little project is to fix our backyard gate

We’ve taken to observing nature in every way

We seen three rabbits hopping in our neighbourhood today

We are enjoying the birds singing their favourite tune

We hope that the leaves on the trees will come out soon

So break up the monotony and find something you like

Hell, pump up those tires and take a ride on your bike

But when you venture out please stick to the plan

We all have to be our best and do what we can

Please don’t give in to those tiny pockets of resistance

Obey all the rules and enforce your social distance

That light at the end of the tunnel is now in our site

We will never attain this goal if we don’t do things right

According to the story, this couple had a fight

Which in turn escalated to assault, on a Saturday night

The assailant tied up his victim in order for her to stay

Fortunately after many hours she was able to get away

The events that this man started must have enraged him even more

Who knows what his mindset was when he proceeded out that door

This man was deeply troubled, but still he knew what to do

Before this night was over, he would murder twenty two

These homicides were in no way random, this man had thought things through

He was well aware of the circumstances and knew just what he had to do

He had a Mountie uniform and a car that fit the bill

This man was out for vengeance, he was out to kill

He ended up shooting random people that got in his way

In reality he had a list of people that he was out to slay

Each location that he attended was methodically put to flame

It was so businesslike, to him, this was no game

I think this man was so arrogant, he thought he would survive

But like so many crime story endings, he didn’t come out alive

When he stopped to fill up his car, things didn’t go according to plan

He met up with some real Mounties, and yes they got their man

So many senseless killings of innocent people were performed

Some say more lives would have been saved if the public was better informed

There will always be the controversy on how this incident was done

Who would have thought the girlfriend he assaulted would be one of the lucky ones
