day THREE HUNDRED and FORTY FOUR

TRUMP WORLD


We've packed all the
Suitcases
Taken the children
Out of school
Fallen out of
Love with the
Idea of what
Was once
America



Moving to Scotland
Maybe France
Canada is looking nice
The passports
Are ready


People just don't
Understand
Family just doesn't
Understand
Even though they
Watch the news
Avoid it
Avoid
The truth


And I often wonder
At times like these
Where is God
Where are all
The just people
The good people
Of the world
Why isn't anyone
Doing anything?
Doing something
Anymore
To stop Hitler in
The second half


We've
Lost all
Our dignity
And respect
And all we get
Are promises
And words
Words
Lies
Just like in
The past
And we tell
Ourselves that
History never
Repeats


Because
There is
No Superman
No Wonder Woman
And Captain America
Has disappeared
For good


Dictators
Move in
The shadows
Where they
Slowly create
Death


Propaganda


Dictators
Don't stop
Until they are
Finished and
Will take the
Whole world
Into hell


But
No one
Believes
It's happening
Right before
Their own
Eyes


We have
To go now
Before it's
Too late


At the
Airport
Our passports
Have been
Revoked
