Consequences

What can he who shall not be named again in these poems do
When he legally begins to America screw?
He’s promised many ugly things he says he will foment
Immediately upon seizings the reins of government
And it is true a few of those things he can do so will
But most although not total toast will hold a poison pill.

One of the things on Day One current law will him enable

Is to abuse pardon power to free his traitor’s stable

Of Jan 6 insurrectionists legally locked away

All he will declare pardoned before the end of the day

Thus dishonoring again Prez power to permit

Convicted felons like him to from consequences split.

He will also pardon himself by telling Justice to

Stop trying to his own traitorous acts attempt to screw

Thus cashing in the Get Out Of Jail Free Card Justice granted

To him because required justice never was decanted

By the timid wuss in charge who hadn’t balls to act

As laws required after blatant traitorous attack.

But after pardoning himself and fellow traitors too

It gets more uncertain about what he’ll get to do

Because laws in place will slow some things he’s promising down

Because enough money for some not ever will be found

And maybe best of all because consequences resulting

From promises un-thought-through will to voters be revolting.

Taking away Medicaid for instance won’t be pleasing

To poor folks in red states who use it to make pain and sneezing

And other symptoms cheap enough for treatment to afford

Before such ailments grow into disease death climbs aboard

So although he has promised better concepts to replace

Obamacare like in his first term none then came apace.

And though he thinks no more beautiful word than tariff’s due

To be found in dictionaries he has not one clue

How tariffs really work but young men who voted for him

Will find out how much more how they do will cost them to grin

While playing video games because new controllers they

Wanted to buy tariffs will make them one thousand bucks pay.

Product costs, insurance costs, health costs, any you please

Will all skyrocket if his promises Congress agrees

To implement in their entirety without defenses

They’ll need once things proceed to where un-thought-through consequences

Make voters who elected him find much to their chagrin 

His “promises kept” have made their lives worse than before him.
