Two Sides of the Same Coin

Aug 24, 2017 · 1 min read

You think you’re the best

That this country has to give

All you’ve managed to do

Is make the country

More divisive

Two speeches

In two days

Saying love one another

To the veterans of war

Reinforcing hate

To your minions

To settle the score

Enlightened self interests

Is the name

Of the game

That’s what grifters do

Trying to look sane

Your approval numbers

Are dropping

Rightfully so

Nobody wants to party

At Mar-a-Lago

We’ll keep applying pressure

To make you squirm

You’ll come under scrutiny

Better get another

Law firm

You’re a two faced liar

Two sides

Of the same coin

Maybe you need more

Money

You could always go back

To Des Moines…
