If you like this and believe it has merit, please try to get it to as many people as possible, through any method you have available to you. The media, congress, and We the People, need to cooperate with the president, and help the United States of America get through these trying times; even if its only for this one time. Those who choose,can get back to your one person hatred later.

Pointing Fingers
By Franklin Price
03/22/2020

Pointing fingers going viral, as coronavirus grows
Pointing to the president, on Sunday morning shows
The virus not expected, was never seen before
China's where it started, it's knocking now at every door

The world has gotten smaller, the transportation's great
China kept on traveling, and did not shut its gate
Did not talk about it, at least not right away
That's the finger pointing reason, we're where we are today

Covid moving to all people, race and country matters not
Seems wherever China went, Covid added to the pot
The world's contending with it, humans passing it along
To blame it on the president, is so much more than wrong

Was no protection for it, all the viral experts say
The media's in agreement, yet Trump let it come our way
They say he is a know it all, should have seen it way ahead
Thousands now infected, and hundreds more are dead

He should have seen it coming, had the testing all at hand
Had the vaccinations ready, before it spread thoughout the land
Should have closed our borders sooner, and sent all the workers home
Now the virus has its hold on us, from Key West up to Nome.

In the process of this happening, Trump made the market bust
Was forced to call the pros in, some whom the news may trust
Put his buddy Pence in charge, to proceed to win the bout
Is transparent to the people, as they try to work things out

Some newsmen saying good things, though there's a way to go
Yet dwell on what he says, not does, as he goes on with the show
They know he's not political, doesn't kiss a single ass
To say just what he's thinking, shows he doesn't have much class

Covid-19 not political, at least it should not be
The whole world now is waging war, with an illness we can't see
Instead of pointing fingers, in hopes of voting Donald out
Be the journalists, you are not now, and help this nation out

Report on where the roads are blocked, find out what must be done
Pretend he is your president, for he surely is the one
Show him respect, and he may too, I know you're thinking maybe not
The impeachment did not work at all, so he's the only one we've got
