Samia Ali Salama Poet Rhyme

The Great American Robbery

You may think that I speak about robbers
who wear masks when they’re pulling a job
Or the one who’s in charge of the driving
or the loan sharks who work for the mob

But these criminals are a bit different
they have bastardized all of our laws
Given power by most of the voters
they’ve exposed our system’s great flaws 

Some will argue that Trump is the problem 
but Republicans hold all the cash
They’re betraying their oaths and democracy
throwing both of these jewels in the trash 

As the GOP votes for its donors
and gets richer with trading of stocks 
Undercover of legalese, lawyers twist laws
then strut through all the courts like game cocks

Now the People must rise and start fighting 
for democracy stands on the edge
As they say, freedom doesn’t come easy or cheap 
it is time to fulfill our Pledge
