Notes About The Poem

While I believe that President Trump has the best interests of the United States in mind, he, very often, lets Donald Trump, the man, unnecesarily get in the way of Donald Trump the President. It really is a shame that his personal actions could prevent him from being re-elected. His ego is not his friend.

The Church of Presidents

The Church of Presidents
By Franklin Price
06/02/2020

Saint John's, near the White House, is the church of Presidents
Rioters tried to burn it, at least that's how the story went.

Not peaceful people protesting, who set the church on fire,
But trouble making criminals who, some say, were there for hire.

Doesn't matter much at all, whether they were paid or not
Their protests were not peaceful, they were there to stir the pot

Setting fires and looting are not by the Constitution. 
Americans should gather peacefully, to protest for resolution.

Those who go outside the law to spread their hate around
Should quickly be disbanded wherever they are found.

Donald Trump the President says pretty much the same.
But does some pretty foolish things, when he tries to play the game.

Bible in hand, walked to the church, during protests yesterday.
Left the safety of the White house, tear gas and cops to clear the way

He did not need to stir the pot, to make news scream and shout
What he did was well within his rights, that's what protestation's all about

Although it was his right to do, should not have shoved it in our faces.
He could have chosen better times and, for sure, much better places.

He is still our only president, still the one that I support.
He should think sometimes of consequence, when doing things for sport.
