Nothing has changed
a program about political killings
in the USA was a grim experience
the best leaders killed
What is left is Trump, wounded in
an assassination attempt by a lone
gunman, they say
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
who claims she is black
All three of them preach hatred
they are the rotten apple of the
once great America, for now, run
by the Jewish donor class.
The Hebrews were given land on
Palestine land, the thieves were
Britain, which had no qualms to do
so and still are unbowed the elite
still thinks it is a leading nation
The Jews, not knowing how to run
a nation and began violence by
killing their neighbor
sowing an endless cycle of wars
We, who loved America for her
possibility, for now, cut short by
the lack of leaders
I ask, will that great nation arise
once more and become a shining
beacon once more?
No Surrender
There are those who stand proud
and salute when Old Glory is raised
where one has fallen to protect his daughter,
while others surround a wounded president
of these United States of America
who has been grazed by an assassin’s bullet
(as if it were a wake-up call for freedom’s sake
to bear arms to defend that which is rightfully ours)
and rises with his arm raised and fist clenched
and blood on his face, determined to win
(as the sun shone down on Butler, Pennsylvania,
on Saturday, July the thirteenth, two thousand and twenty-four)
under the red, white, and blue Star-Spangled Banner,
"Fight, fight, fight!" No Surrender!

Assassination attempt of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump: Saturday, July 13, 2024, 6:11 PM EDT (UTC–4), Butler, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
Marcus Garvey you were a trier, but never destined to be a king
Easily made a fool of, if only you had half a brain, you could win
Famed by your own notoriety, ideology based on incompetence
But; you've not gone through history, without acknowledgment
Giving birth to Malcolm X, who in 1965 dreams were shot down
Martin Luther King, another black, whites didn't as want around
Where Bob Marley's assassination attempt, rumored by the CIA
Black's standing up for their rights, never to see the light of day
Muammar Gaddafi, taken out on the orders of white supremacy
Opening the borders to African blacks, he's shown no clemency
I tell you I've met God in my dreams and he is not flamin' white
When he reigned before me, black, black as any moonless night
I checked out 20 words we owe to William Shakespeare and included them in this ditty about teenagers.
Bedazzled by new-fangled, multitudinous belongings,
fashionable youth in half-blooded pageantry
swagger uncomfortably amidst the inaudible manager
of their disheartening addictions.
Scuffling shy of eyeball contact
they cold-bloodedly eschew humanity
and view any effort toward eventful social intercourse
as an assassination attempt by an arch-villain
and as the Ladybird; play dead when threatened.
So this southern bigot wants to be President?
From which hell hole was this guy sent?
He believes he can pull the nomination off, it seems.
Well, I will put an end to all his dreams.
I am following this dude all over the country,
despite his large campaigning itinerary.
When he comes close to shaking hands with the crowd,
I will empty my pistol, and the shots will ring loud.
Here is my chance to be a part of history.
For this noble deed, the public will thank me.
