six injustices danced their mess around
Inside chambers of not so Supreme Court
dig up and reanimate Jim Crow
Roberts and his Feckless Five ruled for disorder
Clarence pulled up the Black vote ladder
Trump Court saying this is what it is now
we made it harder to fight
what you mere citizens believe isn’t right
His majesty comes from Great Britain
To take the other king to school regarding checks and balances
What power is and isn’t
What democracy should be
The American would be king rudely walks in front of the British king,
The British king, hangs his head, hangs his head (of course Mr. Trump would do that to me)
Everybody, in America, watches the King's Congressional Speech
Wherever they choose: CSPAN, news channels,
We’re so glad to have a respite from the false American king and his bloviating
Plus his urge to use the Correspondents Dinner as the jaw bone of vengeance
While the rumor of possible Secret Service friendly fire isn’t a subject
Making an impact inside the minds of the journalists
Covering the real king and the faux king. at the wonderful state dinner.

here until elsewhere
here until taken there
make something work
while you have the chance
get something done
better than wishing and wanting
visit the old places
be happy with the good memories
go somewhere new
keep your faculties alive
don’t believe everything’s behind you
and there’s nothing left to do
but dissipate in ritual silent regret
while you still can
make the best of
the here you have
before elsewhere whisks you away
