Despotic Measures

Watch out, or you will find that you're

On President Trump's Enemies List,

For democratic values and Donald

Trump cannot coexist.

 

Former CIA Director

John Brennan, now has learned

That when it comes to silencing critics,

Trump will leave no stone unturned.

 

After hearing Brennan's critical

Words, the angry Trump was stewing.

Bam! He revoked Brennan's security

Clearance despite no wrongdoing.

 

The crazed, vindictive leader called

John Brennan's behavior "erratic."

Muzzling the freedom of speech, Trump's

Becoming more autocratic.

 

The office of the presidency

Has never, ever been sullied so.

This vicious attack on our First Amendment

Rights is a terrible blow.

 

Trump accused Brennan of making

"Baseless charges." Real translation:

Brennan didn't hail Trump

With sycophantic adoration.

 

On Trump's list are others who

Might lose clearances as well.

Here his lack of integrity

And pettiness have no parallel.

Another motive for Trump's action

Is more diabolical yet:

He wants to strip the power away

From all people who might be a threat

 

Because of their connection to

The Russia probe. That makes sense.

As more dots are being connected,

The situation is growing tense.

 

While servile Republicans in Congress

Defend their despotic president,

Let Brennan's powerful words

Resound: "I will not relent."
