Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The storming of the capital building yesterday was a terrible scar on our democracy. It has all been blamed on Donald Trump, but over all conditions, caused by all administrations during this 21st century,  have contributed to the division and hatred felt by our population. Hopefully, getting Trump out of the way will help us mend, but unless We the People do it among ourselves, we will not mend, and the United State of America will fall. Washington is elected to represent us, not be us.

Trump Is Almost Gone

Trump is Almost Gone
By Franklin Price
01/07/2020

Trump is almost gone
Just thirteen days away
The Swamp controls the government
Will make We the People pay

Four long years they've fought him
Even when he had done right
I pray to God to help us
Not let us go into the night

Yesterday he was most foolish 
Encouraged quite a motley crew
To go up to the capital
What a  foolish thing to do

The assumption all were Trumpers
May not or may be true
Some likely trouble makers
With nothing else to do

Could have been some city burners
Who led to break the windows out
If you look at the majority
Most of the crowd, just milled about

No matter, Trump was most at fault
Was there and led the way
Told the mob to go up to the hill
Though there was nothing left to say

Media, compares it to Pearl Harbor
Caused, by Trump, the foolish clown
Was not as if they helped to cause it
For four long years they've put him down

He tried every way to help them
To tweet and call his haters names
Not often presidential
Not how lifers play the games

When everything is said and done
Whether legally or not
Joe Biden our new president 
Voted in to stir the pot
