Birthday Parade
We know the dates of birthdays
Of some presidents, once dead,
Yet this time a parade will tout
A living one, instead.
As tanks roll down the DC streets
And soldiers march in step,
Republicans won’t focus on
The millions spent in prep.
They’ll bow down to their MAGA king
As fireworks explode,
Just like the crowds for Stalin
In his power-hungry mode.
We’re told that this parade is for
Our country’s birthday, though,
Considering the president,
We know that isn’t so.
