Welcome to My Poetry Site
I Can't Wait
I can't wait till once again
We have a president who's sane;
Whose meaningless words "No collusion"
Don't become a daily refrain;
Who cares about people and country
More than profits and dividends;
Who places trust in allies and doesn't
Treat our adversaries as friends;
Whose charitable foundation isn't
Merely his own slush fund or scam;
Whose kids aren't part of his shady deals;
Whose wife really gives a damn;
Who has integrity and doesn't
Give hateful fringe groups praise;
Whose job applicants don't need
The word "crook" on their résumés;
Who wins elections honestly
And doesn't rely on outside assistance;
For whom the use of lies and deceit
Is NOT the path of least resistance;
Who wants border security but doesn't
Constantly harp on a senseless wall;
Whose behavior is much, much more
Refined and LESS Neanderthal;
Who truly believes in democracy
And fully supports the rule of law;
Who doesn't display his ignorance
In daily tweets with his blah, blah, blah;
Who, when putting words together,
Could prove to be more prolific
And have in his daily repertoire more
Adjectives than "great" and "terrific";
Whose team is not constantly
Involved in ethics violations;
Who in his first years of office isn't
In seventeen investigations.
Sooner or later, things will change.
But judging from every indicator,
It's suddenly starting to look as though
Relief might come sooner than later.
