Oh One Oh Two Two Oh Two Two

Oh one oh two two oh two two
What should We the People do?
The twenties, so far, not so fun
In this, our century, twenty-one

Years, score and one, are over now.
We have arrived, I wonder how
The U.S.A.'s been through a lot
Are we okay? I think we're not

Barely had the century changed
When terrorists, who were deranged,
Knocked the towers to the ground
Came from the middle east, we found

There was no country to attack
Sources said should be Iraq 
Saddam Hussein should take the fall
Before his weapons killed us all 

We sent our troops to that far land
We killed Saddam and half his band
Was not long 'til we would know
That this was not the way to go

Then we tried another plan
Fight terror in Afghanistan
To wipe them out, we made a vow
And we've been there, 'til almost now.

Since then we've had four presidents
Not sure that any made much sense
Bush believed what he was told
He acted wrong but he was bold

Then Obama came along
He rearranged the same old song
History was made, he was not white
Leaned to the left and not the right

He was a solid democrat 
Republicans not fine with that
Did what they could to block him out
His every move would make them shout

Made it through eight years of him
Cooperation growing dim
A man of change was on his way
Trump came next, four years to play

Was the apprentice, ran for fun
When all was said, he was the one
The Constitution had its way
Electoral College had its say

Neither party wanted him
Thought he was running on a whim
Thought that Trump was just a joke.
Yet, touched the minds of heartland folk

The long ensconced filled up the swamp
They loved the circumstance and pomp
The country's heart had lost its beat
Resuscitation's no mean feat

Clinton won big city vote
Trump, deplorables of note
When the college was applied
The Donald would begin his ride

The ax had split the party rail
Democrats must make Trump fail
Would take some time, but must impeach 
There was a lesson they must teach

Russia must have had a voice
Trump their interfering choice
The Democrats are socialist
Trump had won, and they were pissed

The Dems did all, their everything
To make him kiss their ass or ring
He did not bow down to their work
They voted and impeached the jerk.

In twenty-twenty Covid came
Election year, it changed the game
More than should, mailed in their vote
Now Biden's captain of the boat

Has been the one, almost a year
We're much worse off and that is clear
All Trump did, he put aside
Has put us in a steeper slide

That's where we are in this new year
The roaring twenties gone from here
We must speak up, with rants and raves
Our founders rolling in their graves
