Wrest in Power

DDE ruled the land of the free.

He was born October fourteenth,
like George Floyd.
He helped win a world war,
had a decent golfing score,
so, it was Ike and Tricky Dick,
into the void.
Dick got nixed by JFK.
That was not to be the way.
He was the first of the big three
eliminated. How that grated.
LBJ chose not to run.
Who knows who held that big gun.
Dick got picked and then went after
those he hated.
When he finally got caught,
doing things he shouldn’t ought,
Ford stepped in, but he was
very lowly rated.
Jimmy Carter had some heart.
They attacked him from the start.
Ronnie snuck in underhanded.
Decency was then disbanded.
GHW came next,
straight out of CIA’s text.
Bounced by Bill for oil war,
Sonny George evened that score,
cheating out the real Al Gore.
Then eight years of Hope, Barack.
But good times ran out of stock.
In came DT for years four
feeling like more than a score.
After him, there’s nothing more.
Sad Joe, scratching at the door.
Parties broken, unclass war.
Climate just one crash in store.
Flat earth, flat line,
flat dash to the void.
Black lives. White lives,
it don’t matter.
Remember George Floyd.
