Oxygen Depletion and Deprivation

Some one must have traduced the media
Sucked the oxygen from the room like thieves
Stolen along with logic and what is breathable
Available to the enemy of the state's hyenas

Some heinous fiend absconded in the crime
With their debate and valuable broadcast time
Odious, odorless, right there on color TV screens

Elephants in the big room too evaporated
Became invisible at the thought of Trump

Hate takes to the airwaves out of whack
A liberal press fires back  asphyxiated
Inhabitants of their god like minds deflated
Take a deep breath for four more years of that

Babies turn blue too from oxygen deprivation
Some tantrums stop with diaper changes
In an imagined Aryan nation of empty space
