Four Years

 

For four years the man ruled

The ruling country of the world

Causing mayhem and chaos

Everywhere he went

 

Messing with things he did not know about

Denying things he said or did

Covering up his mistakes

With the cry of fake news

 

Making allegiances with countries,

Where the leaders are dangerous

And forgetting about what matters

To the people on the ground

 

Ignoring the issues,

That was causing people to hurt

And watching people died

With no concern at all

 

He posed with the Bible

Bringing God into his fight

Using his name and values

To win people over

 

He was crass and harmful

But some were blind

They could not see

Just how dangerous he was

 

On his last days,

He incited violence

With calls for riots

Which ended in death and grief

 

He could not even admit

That he had lost

His ego was too big

To think he would lose

 

When it came to the inauguration

He left on a plane

Never even acknowledging,

The new incumbent in the office

 

It shows immaturity

The lack of compassion for others

Just thinking about himself

As well, somethings never change
