Political Curd
Disclaimer- I am not racist and see all sides of everything. I don’t represent either political party. I am more, disheartened by the hatred floating around. This poem is more so a description of what I see, when I look at Americans and how they react to politics... over the last decade..
Why are we so angry over one single dude
A womanizer, perhaps, vulgar and crude
But at the end of the day, he's only a man
A perverted senior citizen with the winning hand
A dishonest politician is not a new fad
And alternative opinions are not always bad
8 years ago we thought the world was ending
Or were convinced of a change, a new beginning
I'm still the same
Politics still lame
My casted vote, indefinitely, pending
So, tell me, which side do you take
A baby killer or one accused of rape
And if you disagree, how should you act
Paint vaginas on your face for a presidential attack
Grinning ear to ear for a social media snack
But it's all roses now, the last one was black
Am I making sense, or way off track
Please, my neighbors, don't take me wrong
I wouldn't breathe a word of our country's song
Forget the soldiers, their fame is gone
Set fire to our flag and move to Hong Kong
No, I don't believe in killing babies or raping women
But I've tasted so much, I can't tell pepper from cinnamon
If you think you know it all, my darling, you're trippin
So can we please just resume the scheduled program of living
