Inauguration's Coming Soon
By Franklin Price
1/3/2017
Inauguration's coming soon
A new leader sworn in
One who has made promises
To make us great again
The struggle has been long and hard
For the one the people sent
A political apprentice
Not your normal president
A billionaire of question
Who had so little chance
Came without an invitation
To the inauguration dance
Promised us to build a wall,
Defeat the ISIS threat,
Bring back jobs, once sent away,
Get the U.S. out of debt,
Be there for all citizens,
Not just the super rich,
Show Washington insiders,
That life can be a *****.
Reinstate the middle class,
The heartbeat of this land,
Bring programs to the cities' poor,
Wouldn't all of that be grand?
We the people, tired of cards,
Beltway politicians play,
Voted to play the Trump card,
On inauguration day
Please don't leave the table,
Let all players play their hands,
According to the Constitution,
That's what democracy demands.
