The Republican Convention
I heard the speeches, watched the crowds
And shuddered as I thought,
This surely is a crazy world
And look at what it’s wrought:
A candidacy fueled by fear
With smears of subterfuge;
A leader who proclaims that he
Will win and do it YUGE!
I’d thought I’d see it as a joke
But I was not prepared
For the frenzy of the faithful;
Now I’m more than slightly scared.
