Say What



A gang of outsiders 
say they gonna reform the government,
with a bad boy at the helm
Juvenile adolescents, 
at Constitutional reform school,
are gonna be running everything
	Say what!
	You heard it right ...
	No he didn’t!
	Yeah, bad boy started that tweet fight
Wrong characters on the keypad
reformatting the geopolitical template
Tear down global trade love,
build up more isolationist hate
Lord of the Flies now running everything,
oh what a pitiful sight
Draining the political swamp
takes a lot of integrity and oversight
Too bad this reform school
don’t hold ethic classes at night
Martin Luther wannabes
ain’t offering no Reformation guarantees
Donar class protest rallies
organized by corporate gangster hierarchy
Palace espionage intrigue — 
Infiltrator spies, so sneaky
	Say what!
	You heard it right ...
	No he didn’t!
	Yeah, bad boy started another tweet fight
Inmates are now running the asylum,
reform looks like crazy change
The bad boy Joker with the maniacal smile
is tearing down the norms of society all the while
A gang of outsiders doing an inside job,
the treasury is being looted and robbed ... 
so please don’t turn the satellite dial
Cover story is fake news scorn
Broadcast reform: say it proud, say it loud
Crazy is the new norm,
and profane is the acid rain 
	         pouring from the reform cloud
It was rain, rain, raining
on the outsiders’ Inaugural parade
And it’s been raining ever since
Tracking reform muddy puddles 
into the White House Oval room
Bad boy and his inept buddies
got a reform platform that spells doom
	Say what!
	You heard it right ...
	No he didn’t!
	Yeah, bad boy was tweet fighting again at night
Said he is a chaos agent,
but he ain’t yet got smart
Said sewer reform is nasty business:
you need bankrupt morals and an empty heart
Gutter reform is looking reaper grim,
hanging over the nation like a deadly pall
Deconstruct democracy on a whim,
take another liberty brick out of the wall
Piece by piece, bit by bit ... 
until that Constitutional school crumble and fall

I'm not big on politics, my friend! But with your touch and spin on it, it's a real pleasure! Sorry I haven't visited you for SO long! Keep up the good stuff, mate!

It seems that you have strong feelings about the politics of our time. This is almost a song or a rap. Would make a good one with the refrain that I like a lot. Get um Freddie.

Ty, Janis. Actually, I'm apolitical. But some politicians are so odious morally, that I gotta slam 'em. Any fool that says they never ever repented for anything ... well, they deserve getting torched by my flaming pen. Love and smiles, dear friend.
