Monster
He is quite round and not very tall,
But he’s the most fearful creature of all.
He has small teeth, no claws, and little hair,
He scares with sneer, shout, or glare!
This creature has no defense except one
His voice is the loudest under the sun
He wails and wails until he has won
Until he has deafened everyone.
Now speaking out loud isn’t bad to do
Unless one refuses to speak the truth
People willingly listen as people often do
Even to a creature came out of the blue
Muslims are terrorists,
The Poor, hilarious,
Latinos are lazy,
Women are crazy,
Blacks are criminals,
Disabled, despicable!
One small creature so loud and powerful
He makes all this hate allowable
It’s true he has no teeth or claws
But he can hurt you with his laws
If you wish to see him quiver,
approach him on Twitter
If you wish to hear a confession,
Ask in quick succession
Yet this only startles the little beast
Who has too many listeners to be beat
So how to defeat this tiny one
who yells the loudest under the sun?
Many have tried but few know how
Can Elizabeth or Bernie even save us now?
People will listen as people often do
But not this one, who yells ‘til he’s blue
And when he wails he cannot hear
The screams of those he leaves in fear
Though he says he has but innocence,
He’s blinded by his own ignorance
If you hear in the night a scoff or a “humpf”
You can only assume it’s the one: Donald Trump
The newest man to join the league of the greats
The President of our own United States
