Defiance

Written by C Hues

Interracial integration in the segregated South--
Atrocious actions denied word of mouth.
Just jezebels, jokes, and jinxes at the claws of Jim Crow,
Yet the Eagle never flew, in fact---it's taught to lay low.
And a Founding Father fathered many lost descendants---
While the traces of our roots remain withered remnants.
You see your cousins uncovered with science;
Despite DNA---your whole world is defiance.

Named for 23, she won Gold at 23
The smallest Giant, flying forever free
You can deny her a bronze medal
But can't deny her iron mettle

Her floor routine is anything but
She has no ceiling, see her seamlessly strut
Stellar, sassy, super-strong
Jordan Chiles, yes, YOU belong.

And the Oscar Goes to…

And the Oscar goes to Trump the tyrant.
We've witnessed this film---went through every lie, rant...
Acting as if you hate to hate.
Again, antagonism and lies must make America great.
Acting as if Russia's really our friend.
Acting as if you've got no money to spend
When it comes to helping poor people---

Yet you scam college kids to feed your ego.
Acting as if climate change is a hoax.
Acting as if true Christians love to fire folks.
Acting as if assault and abuse against women is cool.
Acting as if you're so intelligent,
fool.
You won with an aura that's so wicked.
Golly gee, genius---that's the price of the ticket.

Lapdog

Trump's little lapdog
Has become an attack dog...
Lying loyally;
Lying by his master's side---
Far from the hungry Haitians.

He's yapping at Zelenskyy---
While his owner won't own up
To the truth; that's clear.
If Ukraine started the war,
Then Trump is a brain surgeon.
