Alarming

Alarming

A Poem by Bob B

Because of the boarish president,

Who grabs more power every day

And cannot handle criticism,

More firings are underway.

 

The current victim, Jimmy Kimmel,

Has been fired by ABC

Because of the man in the Oval Office--

The power-hungry SOB.°

 

So insecure is Donald Trump

That he'll put pressure on any station

And threaten to take its license away--

Another form of domination.

 

Trump's oligarchs will soon

Control all media outlets, and so

Our right of freedom of expression

Will be dealt a heavy blow.

 

Benjamin Franklin was asked what type

Of government we had. He said,

It's "a republic--if we can keep it."

But that's now hanging by a thread.

 

Most Republicans don't mind

Trump's tactics--his strong-arming.

They have ceded their power to him.

That is terribly alarming.
