God’s Only Party in 2017

(Note to readers: See also “God’s Only Party in 2016” and “That Damned Ditty about the Donald” in this site’s archives.)

They’re still God’s only party,
Entitled to claim the high ground.
When it’s time to help the “least of these”,
Their motivation just can’t be found.

They elect a sexual grabber;
No big deal they seem to say.
His rants at naive rallies
Leave future heirs to pay.

Illegal immigrants haunt his dreams;
He’ll separate children from parents.
Hell-bent to build the border wall,
He’ll show them no forbearance.

Like spoiled toddlers he and Kim Jun Un
Play the dozens with each other.
The world awaits their deadly game:
The murder of a brother.

Obamacare they take away.
Nine million have just enrolled.
Their consciences are squeaky clean,
Their insurance good as gold.

They run interference for Donald,
As Mueller’s probe closes in.
His promise to the sycophants
Makes Mammon rise within.

Kellyanne and Sarah sell their souls
In flagrant lie, not misunderstanding.
Alternative facts cause no chagrin,
His ego-driven whims demanding.

For Alabama and the Senate seat
He throws his weight to Moore.
The voters, shocked, hand him defeat
And show him out the door.

At Christmas, in reverse Robin Hood,
Their tax breaks violate scripture.
He tells his friends at Mar-a-Lago,
“You all just got a lot richer.”

Three years to go, perhaps we’ll survive;
We’ve come too far to quit.
Democracy will stand a little longer,
Or the world will get over it.
