Everyone knew
What to expect
The President speaking
Like the Indians say
With a “forked tongue”
Spewing lies and hate
Sewing seeds of discord
Same ploy always
Seeking power and wins
Anything goes
The nation limps along
Rife with wounds
Solving naught
The wars continue
Unrest at home
The losers
Americans all
What hurts the most
Is our fraudulent selves
Our failure to see
Complicity and contempt
Combined to excuse
The sin of fear
The state of us
