That Was Yesterday
He would stand atop his soap box,
yelling his sermon to the crowd.
He’d thump his chest and strut along,
go anyplace he was allowed.
He found it hard to understand,
ignorant people in this land.
So engrossed in their own interest,
not seeing the problems at hand.
He would use social media,
or the water cooler to shout.
Opinions on the border wall,
and what climate change was about.
He’d preach his rhetoric into,
the minds of any who were near.
He would scream about gun control,
how the end of freedom was here.
But that was yesterday my friends,
I think he finally understands.
Cause today he got the X-rays,
now he prays for God's helping hand.
