Taking America Down

Things are getting a little shaky the way 
                    they’re opening the border walls.
                  And “The Covid” got us all twitching;
                    sneaking around doors and halls.
                 Trials and troubles all across creation
                        egged on by crazy schemes,
             regular folks don’t know which way to turn;
                  right or wrong, don’t mean a thing.
              Why invade America? No reason, I can tell, 
                      let them in on bus and rail.
              Don’t test them for Covib or any other disease,
             let them all in, their drugs, terrorists and thieves.
        It’s a bloodless plan to take down America, all in perfect time
                            The so called educated,
                     lending voice to the grand design.
            They have a higher slopping spot on the fatted hog.      
           America, slipping on a trail of stench, to her final fall.
                     it's better to go after the children,
                     in the name of keeping them safe
              Dividing the races farther apart will weaken her       
                              more, just in case.
                    Bring in President to be a puppet
                     and let the news work it well.
             A Vice President giggling out of a comic book
                        in rendition of Tinker Bell.
             Order a mask to cover the face, any old sack will do
                    Train them to be sleeping dogs,
                         and Covid push it through .      
                         Work on the voting laws,
                     It's only right, all should vote.
                       Pull it out of the open air,
              it's better than we could ever hope.
                By all means, go after the church,   
                 let the rapture take them home.      
            Anyway, God's out of style, a little blink 
                    and they will all be gone.
             America will stand with the others, 
            diversity on a shining hill, the world tied together  
                  one leader, one church, one seal. 666

Thanks Kim, you make me feel better. I wrote this months ago mostly about open border walls. Now it’s much worse. Thanks for letting me know.
