Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

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.

Line Gauthier February 28, 2018 at 11:16 PM 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. Eve Roper March 1, 2018 at 3:02 PM Thank you Line... <3

Vladislav Raven February 28, 2018 at 5:15 PM 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. Eve Roper March 1, 2018 at 3:02 PM Thank you Mike for your support ... <3
