America is in the spotlight.
And the World has been watching.
Republicans and Trump have been putting on a show.
Many wanting to know – how many will join the clown car
As it rolls through different States
Trying to overturn the Electorates
That voted in the Democratic Candidate.
Republicans still playing games.
No shame, as Graham kisses Trump’s rump.
And to Kamala he gives a fist-pump.
When will they stop acting like they are in the Arcade?
And behave as if it’s true lives they are handling?
People need to come to terms
With the fact that the Covid-19 train is dangerous.
And that it needs to slow down, then stop.
That it exists and wouldn’t magically disappear.
Heed the warnings from the engineers.
And follow the safety measures.
But they are distracted by the entertainer on board.
Who refuses to give up his gig.
Trying to boost his ego, fill his pockets and secure his next shtick.
Not caring that his distractions can cause the train to go crashing.
Are Americans pleased with the Acts that they see?
In the likes of Rudy Giuliani?
Sweating profusely, juggling many lies.
Won’t find a crazier looking clown, even if you tried.
Trump and his minions –
Shooting a cannon-load of conspiracy theories.
We cannot minimize the weight they carry.
Walking the tightrope going to court.
Trying to not be held in contempt
As they present cases that are of no worth.
The transition to Biden, Trump is trying to delay.
Like him leaving the White House is the same
As walking on a bed of nails.
There is no way to contort the re-counts
To make the results look like Trump won.
And no kind of acrobatic moves
Will flip the States where Biden was already approved.
Trump and Republicans are using the transition period.
To build their conservative human pyramid.
And the fire-eaters don’t extinguish the flames.
They take aim, using their fiery rods as spears
To control the crowds instead.
This type of Coney Island that America has become.
For many of US, it’s not entertaining or fun.
But there are many still buying into these performances.
As ticket holders they encourage their productions.
Not recognizing the hefty price they pay
For such amateurish displays
Duped to believe that they parallel Broadway.
Americans were once appalled
When these circus-type acts happened abroad.
Now they are voting for it.
But the World hasn’t stood still
To see if we want to keep our democratic republic.
They’ve been moving on, building other relationships.
Now they can no longer trust or rely on America(ns).
Who continue to reinforce Trump and the Republicans.
As shown with the votes by nearly half of the Country
And that breeds too much instability.
America’s loss on the World stage is not just power.
No longer able to influence the World’s direction.
Broken alliances that help with our protection.
And they can’t trust US with any secret
For fear we vote someone in who will reveal it.
And though Trump tried to paint Biden as the weak one.
It’s under his Presidency that North Korea,
Russia and China have been strengthened.
They’ve been building alliances – political and economic.
And that leaves Americans in the position
Of being the losers and suckers.
Under Trump’s watch, America has been in isolation.
Like an island in the middle of nowhere.
And many Americans think all this has made America great.
But behind the mirage, It’s just another of Trump’s casino fails.
If Americans can’t see their hand in this creation.
As citizens and voters, they’ve brought America to this destination.
Then we are in for more doom and gloom.
Brace yourself for the double loop.
And buckle in for the next ride – the steep, muddy, slippery slide.
