Trump Slump
The slump is in Trump's egotistic plump;
as all that pre-election rhetoric begins to change and die,
fallen to the sides by scary realigned protested cries
of verbal democrats and republican chides.
Recognize at last, all the lies unrevealed in the past
overlooked as the rise to the presidency is stonely cast;
fear filled questions, apprehension and doubts
lost in unwarranted name calling pouts and shouts.
Resign the nation to the silent watch guards be
held to the breast bone of all freedom's needs;
America is great with modifications yet to see,
man, woman, child, Asian, white, black must be equally free.
Hold the promise, dreams and hope for change
be watchful and observant of what we lose or gain;
a leader must set the goal much higher
with populace watching as he steps into the fire.
Push that arrogance and showmanship aside
and regal us with what you'll provide with your pride;
get facts, good advice, the daily briefings, look at all the options
and be a strong, honest, exhaustive conscience.
Comb that hair, dress business like, hold high the chiseled chin
remembering the peoples vote you did not win;
we view now in newer light, with wait and grace allowed
to make us greater still,
America is bold and proud.
