Poem Title:
Poem
It only takes one bad orange To spoil the entire basket This is true and strange It only takes one narcissistic nut To burn down the whole block Very often the bully will mock The minority and the destitute It takes one infected prostitute To contaminate the whole country This is sad, scary, and crazy. It only takes a cretinous one To fool the uneducated pools To mess-up the brain of other fools This is an unusual season Where civility and decency Are thrown off the balcony Countless innocent citizens Are hurting. This is a chaotic jungle Where the worst, the biggest eagle Rules like over-zealous fans. It only takes one rotten orange Ladies and gentlemen of the jury This is incredible, spooky and strange It only takes one felon to corrupt the country Our world deserve better leaders Our world needs no hate-mongers Our world needs no tax cheaters Our world needs no corrupt schemers Our world needs no nefarious actors Our world needs no bloody monsters Our world needs no sorry conspirators But decent citizens and fair prosecutors Convicted felons or criminals belong in jail They need to be living with Satan in Hell. It only takes one stupid slogan To start the expulsion, the execution The pogrom and the annihilation Of so many good men, women, and children Why is it so easy to do bad things? Good deeds do not take place every day The wise parrot no longer hums and sings Unity. We can simply mourn and pray.
