Donald Trump Blues

I think I’ve posted this before, but just in case.

Donald Trump Blues

Got the Donald Trump blues

I got the Donald Trump blues

Better tie up your shoes

Keep the fascists in the rear view

Got the Donald Trump blues

Wants to build a great wall

Keep the Muslims in the hall

We’ll have a great ball

Makin’ ‘Merica great again

Everyone’ll stand tall

Waitin’ for the Mussolini call

Along the Bloomberg crawl

Makin’ ‘Merica hate, my friend

Got the Donald Trump blues

I got the Donald Trump blues

Better tie up your shoes

Keep the fascists in the rear view

Got the Donald Trump blues

Well I got the poison headache

can’t get a break

can’t believe we’d make

such a mistake

he’s such a fucking lowdown ornery fake

Wants to build him a wall

Ban the Muslims and all

With his hands so small

Makin’ ‘Merica hate, my friend

You don’t have to call

Mussolini and all

Better not stall

Gotta makin’ ‘Merica great again

It’s the Donald Trump blues

The ever-hatin’ Donald Trump blues

I know you’re waiting

There ain’t no debatin’

The Donald Trump blues

Amen to all those lines of poetry. It's not just Trump, it's his rogues gallery of appointees who are determined to undermine if not destroy the agencies that they will oversee. Puzder for Secretary of Labor? Seriously. This fascist hates unions, the minimum wage, a subsistence wage and workers' rights. Betsy DeVos hates public schools, unions, science and teacher rights. And the list goes on without end. Not to mention that the GOP is a far right wing/libertarian/Ayn Randian movement determined to kill off the ACA, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Just wait until Trump stacks the SCOTUS with far right wingers. Blue, blue, blue, blue.

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.

Contribute here.
