What's Happening? Part 2

 

Every time I tell myself that things could not get worse

Donald Trump insists on demonstrating the reverse;

Drawing an equivalence between "alt-left" and right

Despite white supremacists' intentions to incite.

One does not wear body armor, helmets, jack-boots, guns,

Carry flaming torches, chanting slogans - Nazi ones' - 

Unless one is looking for a fight, it seems to me...

Yet, again, the President and I do not agree.

Trump believes the "alt-left" charged and then the two sides fought.

Neo-Nazis had the permits, those opposed did not.

"Thank you for your courage," tweets Grand Wizard David Duke.

Ku Klux Klan is happy? Great. I think I'm gonna puke.

Our Basket Overfloweth

 

Seems the "basket of deplorables" has overflowed.

Now they're marching through the streets...  They hit the mother-load

When an "alt-right" thug like Bannon found a President

Who'd already demonstrated his own racist bent.

'cause, one thing these "free speech" advocates all have to say

(They'll be here in Boston for a rally Saturday

With their flaming tiki torches waving in the sky,

Wearing Nazi symbols)  Donald Trump's their kinda guy.

I'm a fan of Chomsky's just as much as anyone;

Free speech is imperative...  Yet, when all's said and done,

This could be like screaming "Fire!" in a movie house,

Fanning flames of hatred that are difficult to douse.
