My President
They'll never allow you to believe this but...
You didn't lose because you're a woman
or because you're black.
You may have lost because you had
no clear vision or concrete message.
You may have lost because you ignored the porous border.
Mixed in with innocents are criminals, cartels and fentanyl
You sacrificed our sovereignty -
and safety for an illegitimate vote.
You may have lost
because you dismissed the middle class....
comparing us to radical elements
on your periodic table of ignorance.
You never considered or addressed
mayhem of runaway inflation.
You may have lost when you're boss stumbled
and you tossed him to the trash.
You never earned a vote from your constituents.
You plucked the crown from your king.
You saw yourself as the second coming
Most saw it as the coup of shallow victory.
You may have lost because
you didn't meet with our most loyal Ally
during his nations darkest moment.
Instead, you went to a sorority event.
During the Floyd riots
you help set up a fund for rioters
ignoring the victims of the rioting.
You wanted to defund the police
while blood flowed freely
down our streets.
In short you met 76 million desperate voices
with word salad and dismissive cackle.
If you would've put, we the citizens first
I would have been proud to call you,
MY president.
