Inspired by a Rolling Stones song from thirty-five years ago.
Pour my endless money into TV commercials
Hope voters stay low information
Respond like lab rats to stimulation
Give them some exhilaration
>
Watch me put Tweedle-Dum down
As I, Tweedle-Dee, paint him as lying clown
Though he says the same things about women
And people of color that I do
>
In a debate, I’ll defend my misdeeds
Then, I’ll pay for a video carefully edited
Making me look like the winner I wasn’t
>
I’ll spend my way to the top
I’ll make liberals cry in despair
I want no taxes raised on me
As a billionaire, I consider this fair
>
If you dare get in my way,
I’ll force you to sign a NDA
And I’ll have you stopped and frisked
On your way home after you’re disinvited
From taking part in my reboot of America

New poem WISCONSIN
Saw the grin of triumph from CNN's Erin Burnett
Yeah, we got those money-gulping
Workers-rights-happy unions on the run!
Don't cry over Citizens United.
Don't do contortions over Obama
Playing political poker by
Refusing to stand up
For ordinary people.
Just organize.
And keep organizing.
And keep voting.
And even in defeat,
Brush yourselves off
And organize and vote some more.
