Trump is just the ugly boy up front.
He’s the pus-filled peak of the pimple of greed and violence.

Trump distracts the people while Greed and Violence suck all our wealth toward the richest. They get the money.

We get work that won’t pay our bills, crumbling infrastructure, the ruin of the climate.

While zillionaires get huge tax cuts, they cut everything ordinary people need.

Parks, libraries, schools, hospitals: cut.
Street and sewer maintenance: cut.

Safety inspections: cut. Food stamps: cut.
Pandemic supplies: oh, oops, gave them to China.

The ones in power are the worst people in the world.
The ones in power don’t care how many of us die.

They don’t care if we’re afraid for our lives or our livelihoods. They don’t care if we have nowhere to live.

The ones in power don’t care.
Good thing we, the people, do.

We donate and volunteer. We make masks.
We grow Victory gardens. We give things away.

Disregarding the Pimple, we listen to Science.
We wear the masks. We staff the food banks.

While our so-called leader
hides with his phone,

tweeting hatred and lies all day,
the People are stepping up.

Watch out, zillionaires.
One of these days the People

might even vote.
