Scary Aspirations

He longs to rewrite history--

For us to see the world through his eyes,

With help from his favorite TV station,

Which scandalously spreads his lies.

 

He'd love to control the media,

Eliminating the critics who

Point out his flaws. Watch him try

To shoot one on Fifth Avenue.

 

He caters to his oligarchs--

To those who use their power and wealth

To fill their pockets and gain control,

Often through fraudulence and stealth.

 

He uses kowtowing appointees to help

Create dirt on his critics to draw

As ugly a picture as he can

And violates the rule of law.

 

When we have a national

Emergency, and things look dim,

He does his best to cover up

The truth and makes it all about him.

 

He even wants political

Opponents to be locked away.

Yep, Trump is acting more

Like Vladimir Putin every day.
