It's All True
A "Say it Plainly" Political Poem
If you live in America
and you feel really bad
about the problems in this country today
then no matter what political viewpoint you have
you won't like what I'm about to say
It's our fault for letting things get to this point
and I'm about to tell you why
So pay close attention to what I have to say
Cause it's all true and it's not a lie
***
Let's start with Republicans
and all that they did
when they bypassed the rules and the laws
The sins of their candidate weren't even hid
yet they chose to ignore all his flaws
So it's their fault for the man who is out of control
They can suck their teeth and let out a sigh
But that doesn't change the reality of things
Cause it's all true and it's not a lie
***
Now for the Democrats
who think they're all right
With lofty and liberal views
Yet in their own ranks
they fuss and they fight
And when the race starts they just lose
It's their fault for being so passive and weak
And making constitutes cry
And after they lose they merely point blame
It's all true and it's not a lie
***
But before you agree
Or disagree with me
Let's take just one more quick look
There's someone else who's responsible for
The country being led by a crook
It's our fault for failing to speak up and speak out
Good people sitting idly by
I know you don't want to hear it right now
But it's true and it's not a lie
***
We should have found a way
At the very very start
Way back in 2017
To stop one man from changing all the rules
The minute he came on the scene
Now thanks to him we're going to war
And people are going to die
Don't hate me for keeping an accurate score
It's all true and not once did I lie
