Are We Great Yet?
An Ode to MAGA
The rallies roared, adorned in red.
The podium danced with grand promises,
of factory jobs, and cheaper bread.
They're Making America Great Again.
American flag blue peels from reflected space
gold leafing corners to hide the cracks of this place
spending our tax dollars as if it's a race
They're Making America Great Again.
The rents have all doubled, groceries sky high,
families, once thriving, now barely get by,
while they feast in the tropics, never batting an eye,
They're Making America Great Again.
They rip open the east, rain down shrapnel like sleet,
Their lies sowing dollars from the words they don't keep
and ICE just shot a kid dead in the street
They're Making America Great Again.
