Everything we took for granted,
now seems a luxury,
veritably, the world slanted,
we watched while the jury
elected a new president
back in 2016,
remember how disenchanted
we were but our fury,
yesterday, appeared so hell-bent
now, everything's gone green,
trust me when I say rust never
sleeps, without oxygen,
however, iron never rusts,
corrosion is the key
in staying watchful forever,
we seek the way of zen,
nothing but words, blustery gusts
of wind, waves on the sea,
granted, the president voices
his opinions as facts,
welcome to year 2020,
toss a wrench in the works,
enter each day to make choices,
navigate Russian hacks,
to survive a life of plenty,
face down in bed, no perks,
only, you have the right to breathe,
with lungs full of fluid,
observe your final breath, lungs seethe
with just one final bid,
kiss the cruel world goodbye, my friend,
you're now a statistic,
fun is over, the virus kills,
a rate of ten percent,
only, how to avoid the end,
stay inside, that's the trick,
reside and hide inside, the bills
mounting, to make a dent,
give a little to gain some time,
shelter from the twister,
remember, looting is a crime,
hot fingers soon blister,
and you didn't need a new coat
in the midst of summer,
now come fall, time again to vote,
Biden, what a bummer,
the elder of two dead white guys,
who forgets first, dies first,
even to last one hundred days,
or Harris takes over,
deceased presidents, no surprise,
the best become the worst,
none who fulfills a promise stays,
stones hidden by clover,
only if he survives one term
will he make destiny,
win the Electoral College,
while the popular vote
seems to matter but to a worm,
facing ignominy,
entering the mouth, on the edge
of suffering a goat,
eclipsed in the last election
by bad publicity,
men cheat to avoid detection,
they face duplicity,
sensibly, if caught, they deny
the truth, their dishonor,
a stain on the nation, whereby
Nixon was the fawner,
lessons learned from history, none,
Trump wins and we all lose,
until we clean the slate, the sun
shines equally, J'accuse!
xenophobia in the news,
alt-right militia found
underground works above the soil,
white supremacy thrives
resisting acceptance, their views
remain deep underground,
yes, Trump plays the hate card, his foil,
to assure he survives.
