Nobody's Bluffing

Have you heard the latest bit of news?
The government can't pick and choose.
Some compromise, but some refuse.
And now the people, again will lose.

The eleventh hour's upon us now.
The one's with power don't know how.
One bends over, one takes a bow.
They milk the system like a cash cow.

I think that it is time for change.
No one thought it'd get this strange.
To wall in our home on the range.
And a prez who looks like he's got mange.

But I digress, I'm getting rude.
Enough is already misconstrued.
No need to drill off shore for crude.
But rather just the facts reviewed.

So in conclusion, it must be said.
The state of the state's run by the fed.
It's all turned grey from blue and red.
It's gotta change or this nation's dead.

No, thankfully my Minnesota Wild hockey was on. :) I don't subject myself to even looking at him anymore if I can help it. :/

Well-done, Robert. The news is scary and unpredictable, but there's one thing we CAN expect: Trump WILL be on Twitter. Janice
