Donald & His Cabinet

Donald has surrounded himself

with witches and dragons who give

peace & justice their toxic dare.

He sports coal black plumage

and an ugly orange crown.

His plastic heart sneers while he displays

a horrendous frown.

His frozen puppets scream strange crude melodies

piercing the warm hearts of loving families,

while painting hex-signs on their own

antiseptic black vehicles.

Donald tortures, speaking scripted hoodoo

while his victims, innocent children and parents,

merely ask for love —

But Donald is the enemy of their souls.
