Make America Great Again

Do not think me overly confident
Because I believe the obvious fact?
Do I come across as arrogant
Because I have thought processes you lack?

Do not yourself be as the ignorant are
Who buy into wild conspiracy theory
Or follow "leaders" who do not care,
Thinking only of themselves, so wearily

I find it sad you blather on unceasingly,
That you are convinced of dangerous lies
Which would undermine common decency
Destroy the values on which America relies.

Do you really think against all evidence
The 2020 election was riddled with fraud
Or are you searching for some confidence
In a thing greater than yourself to applaud.

Have you asked yourself recently how
You can make your country great again.
What is your motivation for acting so now
What can you hope in desperation to gain?

Thanks, Maureen. It probably doesn't enhance my popularity, but it lays the truth boldly out there! Thanks for your comment.
