What to Do?

What should Americans do when they see

The president tearing the country apart?

What should we all rely on to guide us?

What are solutions? Where do we start?

 

We can't rely on our institutions,

For Trump's destroying them one by one.

That makes it harder to stop the man

And his partners in grime. Pardon the pun.

 

We can't rely on the DOJ,

For Trump's henchman is running the show.

Barr is there to do Trump's bidding,

To cover-up truths as the scandals grow.

 

Can congressional oversight

Stop the megalomaniac?

No, not when the Senate is full

Of Trumplican toadies who have his back.

 

It's up to the people to take to the streets,

To march, make phone calls, show our persistence

In striving to stop this brutal assault

On democracy through passive resistance.

 

Voting, too, will be crucial

If there are freedoms you want to save.

Through apathy and blind allegiance,

What you'll do is dig your own grave.
