He mocks those who have suffered

Bereft of conscience, a stain on humanity

Entitled white privilege has kept him buffered

He delights in stalking his prey, a lowlife buzzard

Smug in arrogance, feeding his vanity

He mocks those who have suffered

Ridiculing the handicapped, we gasped and shuddered

Denying his actions, we were horrified at his audacity

Entitled white privilege has kept him buffered

“I like people who weren’t captured”, vile words he uttered

Too chicken shit to serve his country, escaping war’s brutality

He mocks those who have suffered

Covfefe, bigly, two Corinthians, an absolute dullard

He claims to worship in the house of Christianity

Entitled white privilege has kept him buffered

All will be revealed, the truth shall be uncovered

Hopefully soon we will regain our sanity

He mocks those who have suffered

Entitled white privilege has kept him buffered
