Freedom To Be Pink

Freedom To Be Pink

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Welcome to tyranny

"

The newspapers call me crazy
I have a right to believe in pink
The media is angry with me
They want me to say impeach
Or eat a peach
Excuse me! Did I really say pink?
I meant to say impeach
Pretty in pink
I think what I say and say what I mean
This is America! I can say anything
Is our president really impeached?
Or is this Venezuela or Haiti?
Are our news outlets ISIL, Al Qaeda and Boko Haram?
I have a right to say freedom of speech
I have a right to my freedom of pink
My freedom to be pink

go Pink...
go peaches and impeaches...
all this and at the end...he runs again---
pity pity pity..

love the tongue-in-cheek humor of this..but with a serious undertone...
as E put it...acquittal will not do.

I agree my friend and you are welcome Earl.
i like your pink sir! i am afraid the Democrat focus will remain what it is until President Trump's second term is over ... he is officially impeached and at least for now that will remain .. for it to go to trial and an acquittal ensue .... simply will not do ... seems to blemish, tarnish, trash and obstruct the Republican policies is all they want ... pity .. a shame .. and an embarrassment before the whole world :( Merry Christmas right?!?? >;[
