Our World's An Awfully Dangerous Place

Chairman Xi, like Chairman Mao
    Vladimir Putin, shades of Josef Stalin
  Kim Jong-un, plus Recep Tayyip Erdogan
    Iranian Mullahs producing drones and bombs
 
  Our world is an awfully dangerous place
    Yet America's response is a first-class disgrace
  Yesterday Congress' focus on International Pronoun Day
    At New York's UN today, autocrats against Israel inveigh

  At home, crime's way up, 'so' we end cash bail
    Why not let all the thugs out of jail
  To protect its citizenry, America's government once existed
    Now it opens the borders, its explanations ham-fisted

  Add to all this rampant inflation, rising racial tensions
    Plus self-defeating 'green goals' and underfunded pensions...
  The 'threat to democracy' shouters couldn't be more wrong
    The reason it's real ~ America misguided is no longer strong
