Danny Derden Poet Political Verse

Make America Great

Tear gas policies and hate
Will never make America great
Again
Tear gas policies and hate
Will never make America great
 
Changing Defense to War,
Claiming to stop foreign wars,
Won’t win any peace prizes—
Just more of what the world despises.
 
Black helicopters and unmarked vans
Enforcing edicts across our lands;
Masks and rubber bullet diplomacy
Shouldn’t become our normalcy.
 
Secret police with unlawful powers,
Brutal enforcement ordered by cowards;
The rule of law squandered and subverted
To serve personal vengeance perverted.
 
Our Constitution tattered and torn
Needs her defenders all bravely sworn
To stand shoulder to shoulder and hold back the night:
This is our moment, our duty, our fight!
 
Tear gas policies and hate
Will never make America great
Again
Tear gas policies and hate
Will never make America great

sara Etgen-Baker October 12, 2025 at 2:44 PM I share what Gershon said. middle of the road allows for civility and tolerance. Keith D Trestrail October 12, 2025 at 11:53 PM Republicans are conservatives. We are middle of the road. We only look far right to the radical lunatics cos they’ve lurched so far left. Trump is only doing what both sides were calling for 30 years ago. Danny Derden October 12, 2025 at 2:51 PM I would love to see political parties take the path of the Dodo bird.

Gershon Wolf October 11, 2025 at 7:20 PM Neither will intifada, BLM, illegal immigrants, anarchy or chaos. Let's get back to the middle road, the golden path of moderation. ~ Just sayin' Danny Derden October 12, 2025 at 6:45 AM radical right...radical left...both are RADICAL. We could not agree more. I believe that we need to deal with the problem at hand...that being the party in power...I spoke out against the bad legislation & leadership from the democrats when they held the reigns...no different now.

Keith D Trestrail October 11, 2025 at 4:38 PM lol. Yes, it’s so dystopian to have secure borders, peace in the Middle East, making NATO EU countries pay for and defend themselves, bringing down energy prices and cost of living, protecting women from dudes in dresses, protecting American citizens from illegal gangs and thugs. I could go on and on but TDS is incurable in most. Not all, but most! Keith D Trestrail October 11, 2025 at 9:01 PM You’re the one living in a parallel dimension. Getting lectured about civics and constitutional law from a TDS liberal is amusing. The detachment from reality blinds you to the irony, hypocrisy, and lunacy. Danny Derden October 11, 2025 at 6:47 PM Noted. FYI this is a poetry site...maybe comment on poetry next time as your lack of understanding regarding Civics and Constitutional Law doesn't impress me.
