The Thing

In public, it shows dominance it threatens and pretends But later on in private calls it grovels to make friends It begs the leaders to make deals they mock it everywhere The butt of jokes, the world around it thinks that it’s a player Filled with all the foulest traits a creature can contain Greed and racist, bigotry a narcissistic stain And every place the Thing has been its putrid stench remains Lingering and poisoning more gullible, weak brains Betraying all our allies and making them our foes Damaging our friendships in its dirty roadside shows The GOP relinquished all its power to the Thing They trashed the Constitution and replaced it with a king Now the Democrats must fight to knock it off its throne For we’re the fruit from all the seeds Democracy has sown
