I was living in New York City that day

And saw man’s best and worst on display.

Shark attacks were in the news that morning

But for terrorism there was no warning.

The first plane seemed like just bad luck

When the second plane hit the world went amok.

This article has an interesting perspective

Which forced me to be rather reflective

About my thoughts on the political system

And bad politicians, too many to list ‘em.

The headline is big and it doesn’t do all that,

But now I know I’m a libertarian gamma rat!

Again it’s amazing to look at the news

And see the same topic from different views.

Fox highlights Donnie’s desire to keep calm

While the left considers it a homicidal bomb.

There may have been merit in playing it down

But not to the extent that was done by this clown.

Just have a look at this headline and pic

And it’s pretty clear how one can get sick

Of the open bias that drives all the news

And feeds the extremists with its cues.

This picture is chosen to make Joe look dumb

And the left will tirelessly beat the same drum.

Something about this guy is annoying

It seems as if he’s always toying

With opponents and refs and you and me

Going through life superciliously.

But it’s crazy how this episode unfolded.

Players doing worse have only been scolded.

It takes a lot to stand on one’s own

And see that your opinions have grown

In a direction of which others may not approve

But which is true to your principals and groove.

The first black leader of the GOP

Says Trump must go, it’s plain to see…

Of course it’s a he said she said situation

But it’s consistent with Donnie’s infatuation

With belittling those who sacrifice for others

Or who pay their taxes, or help their brothers.

And an interesting fact here of course is –

No Trump has ever served in the armed forces.

Sooner or later it has to stop
Since political discourse couldn’t drop
Any lower on the scale of inanity
And if it does we’ll all lose our sanity.
Yes, Nancy looks a bit like a dunce
But enough with all the childish stunts.

It’s very much a part of a familiar game plan

And appeals to all of the very same clan.

Headline something crazy that helps you out

Then say it’s a joke, what’s the fuss all about?

But the message is sent and was meant to be

He wants to create chaos, just wait you’ll see.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve arrived here

When the President of the US makes it clear

That he’s spinning fantasies at a frantic pace

Made up on the spot to ignite his base.

Does he leave those sessions and laugh at us all,

Or does he truly believe in his crazy gall?
