Fake News
The States are a total mess
and crumbling under the stress.
Trump has nuclear access,
yet he attacks the free press.
Turning his back on progress,
he touts the value of coal.
And crumbling under the stress,
the President sold his soul.
When Trump chose heroes to mock,
the country slipped into shock.
Now democrats vote to block,
and congress is in gridlock.
Republicans are all talk
and can't pass a healthcare bill.
The country slipped into shock
this; wasn't the people's will.
Alternative truths confuse,
reality's now fake news.
And many quite simply choose
to ignore facts that accuse.
Now, a man with a short fuse;
commands the military.
When reality's fake news,
it can be very scary.
