THE NEW AMERICAN DREAM
We are the children of immigrants,
But we hate immigrants.
We praise those who work hard and play fair,
Unless they come from elsewhere.
We love America,
But we hate our fellow Americans.
We revere the American Dream,
But we hate those who dare to dream.
This is the new American Dream.
POWERFUL PREDATORS
Powerful predators prowl the land.
It was once the land of the free.
Now the people flee
And dare not take a stand.
***************
The powerful predators pay no price
As they feed on the small and the weak,
For the people are too meek
To free themselves from the powerful vise.
***************
It is a sad end to the land of the free,
As the people exchange their freedom
For an impoverished serfdom
And live their lives on bended knee.
THE PSYCHOPATH
For the Emperor, cruelty was a choice.
But it was also a reflex action.
It was his second nature.
It was his basic instinct.
It was his worldview:
Never be soft,
Never show mercy,
Never show tenderness.
Crack the whip,
Wield the club,
Strike with an iron fist,
Stride in hobnailed boots,
And laugh at the cries of your victims.
It was the code of a psychopath.
HUNT PEOPLE
The Emperor likes to hunt people.
His favorite prey is someone honest.
But he is so physically feeble
There would be no contest
Unless the prey was somehow suppressed.
***************
So the prey is first hounded
By thugs in a pack,
And then pounded
And tied in a sack.
Only then does the Emperor attack.
WAR ON THE PEOPLE
The Emperor declared war on the people.
"The enemy is within," he said,
"And I will not rest until the people are dead,
Or at least the ones who do not worship me."
But he loved the ignorant people,
And they loved him,
Because he declared war on all the people
Who did not worship him
And weren't like them.
THERE IS NO RABBIT
Even when he doesn't need to,
The Emperor lies.
It's a habit,
Like a dog chasing a rabbit.
If you told him it was day,
He would say it was night.
If you told him it was left,
He would say it was right.
If you said it was up,
He would say it was down.
If you asked him to smile,
He would give you a frown.
He wants you to get in the habit
Of chasing the rabbit,
Even when there is no rabbit.
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
The Emperor does not know he's mad,
And that is absolutely bad.
It means that those who see him clear
Must quickly disappear,
Or else pretend they're glad.
A MASS DELUSION
To clear up our confusion
The Emperor said climate change is illusion,
A great hallucination
Of the entire nation,
All part of a mass delusion.
US WHO COWER
Before the Emperor came to power
He would bellow by the hour
About how the ruler was unfair,
And simply didn't care.
Now, it is us who cower.
GRIEF POURED DOWN
Grief poured down on the people
Like a relentless waterfall.
The Emperor had chosen them,
On a careless, passing, whim,
To suffer his latest atrocity.
***************
The people had committed no crime.
They kept silent and worked hard.
It was just their time.
Perhaps, on another day,
If he had not passed their way,
They might have lived another day.
But, today, they had to pay.
I WANT YOUR JUICE
I want to taste your juice.
I want to taste your juice every day.
A sweet and juicy jelly roll
Like you
Should be tasted every day,
And every day,
A different way,
More juicy,
More succulent,
Than the previous way.
I want your juice to fill my mouth.
I want your juice to drip from my lips.
I want your juice.
CALLING DR. OZ
The Emperor is an ancient old fart
Completely lacking a heart.
It's also a crying shame
He has a peanut for a brain,
So he isn't very smart.
A TIME OF CRISIS
Now is a time of crisis.
Our danger is not from ISIS,
Nor from Marxism, Islamism,
Or any foreign ism.
It is from our own insane Dionysus.
REGIME OF LIES
We live under a regime of lies.
It is a time that terrifies
Because, unless we fight back
Against the imperial maniac,
We will see how freedom dies.
POPULIST
When the people resist
And form one mighty fist,
Overcoming differences
And different preferences,
That's called "populist."
VALUE UNITY
The Emperor did quail
When he learned that empires fail.
When people value unity
Over petty purity,
The people will prevail.
A LA CARTE
The Emperor has a hole in his heart.
It's big enough for a horse and its cart.
And instead of a soul,
There's another big hole,
And you can bribe him a la carte.
THE KENNEDY CENTER
The Emperor took over the Kennedy Center.
But no one came all winter.
So, with his usual frown,
The Emperor shut it down,
And searched for someone to rent her.
RENEE GOOD
The Emperor's thug killed Renee Good.
He wore a mask instead of a hood.
She was smiling at him,
And so on a whim,
The Emperor's thug killed Renee Good.
A ROYAL MESS
They made a movie about the Empress.
But, sad to confess,
It put even the sheep
Completely to sleep,
Because it was such a royal mess.
A BRAIN WORM
The Emperor has a brain worm.
Perhaps it explains why he's so infirm,
Or perhaps his inanity,
Or even his insanity,
But to see it would make you squirm.
NAZI PRANKS
For the Emperor, loyalty is just one way.
Then, your loyalty he will betray.
If you think you'll get his thanks
For all your Nazi pranks,
You'll wait until your dying day.
COMMIT ANY CRIME
Even if he has to cheat
The Emperor won't accept defeat.
Every single time
He'll commit any crime,
Even claim to be an athlete.
REGIME OF LIES
The Emperor murdered Alex Pretti
When he sent his goons into the city.
Then he sought to mesmerize
With his regime of lies,
And for the victim he had no pity.
CRIME DU JOUR
All hail the Emperor!
To him you must defer.
Don't believe your eyes,
Just believe his lies,
And accept the crime du jour!
DISGUSTING LICE
The Emperor's thugs ravish the land,
Turning it all into a wasteland.
These disgusting lice
Go by the name of ICE,
But they're an armed and criminal band.
A FASCIST
The Emperor labels "domestic terrorist"
Any who dares resist.
And he will invade any city
And show no pity
To any who call him a fascist.
A BOARD OF PEACE
The Emperor created a Board of Peace.
It was another way to fleece
Invited members like Skeletor,
Emperor Palpatine, and Darth Vader,
All of who paid a billion apiece.
TO DAVOS
The Emperor went to Davos
Just so he could boast.
He huffed and he puffed,
He lied and he bluffed,
'Till the world said he was toast.
A NAUSEATE
The Emperor likes to prate
'Bout how he is so great,
And how it's so unfair
That no one seems to care,
And say he's such a nauseate.
HE DIDN'T CARE
The Emperor wanted Greenland,
Even though it was a friend.
He said he didn't care,
And all friends should beware,
He also wanted their land.
COMPLETELY MAD
The Emperor's speech is incoherent.
His actions are all aberrant.
His senility is bad,
It's clear he's completely mad,
His dementia is now apparent.
HER DIADEM
The Emperor finally got his peace prize.
The winner had to apologize
For being more deserving than him.
Then she offered up her diadem,
Which he soon tried on for size.
HE IS THE LAW
The Emperor says he's not a scofflaw
Because he is the law.
He takes what he wants,
Then he just taunts
Anyone against him as an outlaw.
A BIG BLUFF
The Emperor likes to look rough.
He thinks it makes him seem tough.
But when he sends others to fight,
He is nowhere in sight.
His manhood is just a big bluff.
PERSEVERE
The Emperor seeks to rule thru fear.
He hopes to drive us to a nadir.
But if we don't give in,
The people can win.
Hold on and persevere.
A ZERO
The Emperor did not think it odd
That he proclaimed himself a god.
If it was good enough for Nero,
It's good for any zero,
No matter how much a complete fraud.
QUICK TO OBEY
The Emperor's gnomes are quick to obey,
Eager to find new ways to slay.
There is one named Bondi,
And another named Kristi,
Both seeking to expand his odious sway.
DON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES
The Emperor says don't believe your eyes.
Close your ears to all their cries.
There is no other way,
It happened just the way I say.
Believe only all my lies.
THEY'RE CALLED ICE
The Emperor hates kisses and hugs.
He likes only his goons and his thugs.
They close their hearts with a vise,
That's why they're called ICE,
And if you smile, they pump you with slugs.
HIS OWN MORALITY
Only the Emperor's own morality,
He said, can stop his ferocity.
But he's a total fool,
Who never learned the Golden Rule,
And he's completely lacking empathy.
A NAZI CUR
The Emperor unleashed his terror
Under the command of a pretty poseur,
A vicious little gnome
By the name of Kristi Noem,
Who all agreed was just a Nazi cur.
NO LOYAL OPPOSITION
The Emperor says there's no loyal opposition.
Only traitors oppose his position.
Ban free speech,
Jail those who teach,
It's all his decision.
HE WANTS PEACE
The Emperor says he wants peace,
Here a piece and there a piece.
He also wants a peace prize
To try on for size,
Right after he bombs Greece.
ALL ABOUT OIL
The Emperor says it's all about oil,
And now we will despoil
All that country's reserves.
It's what it deserves
For being in such turmoil.
BECAUSE HE CAN
The Emperor does it because he can.
No one knows if he even has a plan.
He may break the law
Like some kind of outlaw,
But he thinks it makes him a man.
CLEARLY INSANE
The Emperor's docs keep testing his brain.
They fear it's going down the drain.
He boasts that he knows what to call
Each shown animal,
Even though he's clearly insane.
ASLEEP IN PUBLIC
Our aged Emperor falls asleep in public.
He says the media likes to nitpick.
It's just a blink,
He says with a wink,
But it's really 'cause he's an ancient dick.
HE LOVES THE IGNORANT
The Emperor says life can be painless
If you're completely brainless.
That's why he loves the ignorant.
They are so very tolerant,
And believe he's always blameless.
