As the nation begins an impeachment trial

And we prepare to wage war across the aisle

It seemed a good time to step back and reflect

On more important things than who we elect.

Like a dog’s global plan when it takes a dump!

Though I guess that too is a lesson for Trump…

The other two evils were poverty and war

Which were then linked to racism at the core.

Martin Luther King was an extraordinary man

A leader who said little works, but love can.

Some choose to criticize him for his imperfection

But he championed the hope of human connection.

Here’s a man who used to stand tall.

Yes he was acerbic to one and all

But with good intentions, no one doubted

Even if convention he routinely flouted.

Now you can’t recognize who he’s become,

Behaving like just another self-serving bum.

I guess the thing that really bugs me

Is how his self-interest always slugs me.

Character means that you will take stands

Fighting for them through shifting sands.

Given how often he changes conviction

Donnie’s only stand is his own benediction.

The candidate pool keeps compressing

And sadly the news remains depressing.

Everyone is focused on just beating Trump

But victory comes not from defeating this chump.

Winning America is the task at hand

Solving people’s problems across the land.

Several scientists have been known to say

We use just 2 percent of our brain in a day.

They speculate that one afternoon

The rest of the brain might bend a spoon!

But what a waste that would be, a cranial crime

When all that good energy could make a rhyme…

My bias is deep with piercing torque

What can I say, I’m from New York…

The Red Sox and Patriots and their stars

Are definitely not any friends of ours.

I can’t say they suck, because they do not

But cheating DOES suck and they do it a lot!

I have to agree with William Barr

The good outweighs the bad by far.

Release access to the shooter’s phone

So we can make sure he acted alone.

Invasion of privacy is totally abhorrent,

But can’t it be solved with a search warrant?

We seem burdened by a difficult past,

With the hostage crisis still an overcast.

But clearly Iranians are eager for change

And perhaps it wouldn’t be so strange

To let them know that they’re not alone

Rather than kill their general with a drone.

Internships are similar around the world.

You deal with everything that you’re hurled.

Usually it takes a good week or two

Before you even know who is who.

So now this kid has set the bar high!

Yeah, just find a new planet in the sky…
