Cry Uncle: A quatrain of first family shame
LBelans 12-28-2020
Privilege, power, quid pro quo
that’s how his daddy trained him
Threaten punish reprimand
that’s what has been ingrained in
the cruel exhausting vicious man
who learned the lessons well
I’ll give you this IF you comply
if not, go burn in hell
They did it to his older bro
who wouldn’t play the game
He suffered long and painfully
while conman suffered fame
His party did capitulate
surrendered to his grift
got judges placed on many courts
set democracy adrift
Masked and cloaked in full plain sight
with hatred in his veins
the loser’s staging quite the coup
won’t release the reigns
But come inauguration day
the palindrome of dates
we’ll send him packing with his klan
to Satan’s fiery gates.
