It’s kind of hard to keep on claiming carnage alone’s found

After four years of accomplishment that’s been profound

Since Trump oozed down his golden stair to claim that only he

Could undo the carnage only he alone could see

And let corruption greed and meanness for four years hold sway 

Before Biden swept the carnage his reign caused away.

But one trick pony parties led by one trick pony scum

Have nothing but their carnage claim to voters constant spun

And so they bow the dust off that old claim that now does not

Play as well in Pretoria as 2016’s shot

When it propelled their future felon as mean as can be

Into position that enabled his carnage to be.

The two parties contending for the country’s heart and soul

Are a mirror image in all things they each extol

The carnage alone side seems to have finally met its match 

In the hope’s sprung again relief the other does dispatch

We’ll have to wait and see if hope can force meanness aside

Or if lies about something that’s not there turns back hope’s tide.
