Being Sold Down the River

Being Sold Down the River? Near 80 years ago it has been Another Jerk wanted to make his country great again America first has been used before It was a commie ploy to keep the U.S. out of the War Over 6 million Jews were gassed or shot Who’s going to end up in his burial plot? Both started out with the same trend Replace everyone with family and friend They will do and say anything for power This one wants to rule from his Ivory Tower Don’t worry about fighting with the NRA He will make sure there’s nothing to take away We are being sold out by being in his trance Wakeup or learn that funny little Russian dance Take your money and buy Vodka stock That way you might not be in hock Learn to speak Russian and don’t fail For I hear its cold in a Siberian jail Keep your mouth shut and speak not If you speak out, you could be shot Elections will be no more It doesn’t matter who you vote for. 2/28/2018 By: Sonny Roper a retired U.S. Navy military veteran and moi (me)

So it’s just as well that another racist, authoritarian socialist party of slavery and segregation (the Democrats) did not retain power.

I try to stay away for political poems when they are just a rant but this was an enjoyable read because it was witty and had decorum. Well done, Eve. Great collaboration.

HI Eve, i can understand well how you and Sonny feel about things. I wouldn't follow said man into the men's room. There is always the fear that this man could start a war that will have no end. Not only Americans are warey of the trouble he will cause, those outside America look closely as well. A little man wanting to insult the world, so it seems from outside. A well written write from you both. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs....Mike. XX This one is a fave.
