Before I Vote for Donald Trump . . . by: joel landy, 2024

I’d vote for an old can of dog food
I’d vote for a worn laceless shoe
I’d vote for an asteroid hitting the Earth
Or emojis of your piles of poo
I’d vote for a kindly but clumsy old man as sprite as a log with a lump
A guitar with no strings
And a million more things
Before I would vote Donald Trump

I would vote for a dentist to pull a good tooth
Or watch the Kardashian show
I would vote to wake up to pee every hour
And stub my big toe when I go
I would vote for a bottle of cremated dust or a camel without a hump
Or a slice of burnt toast
Or what upsets me most
Before I would vote Donald Trump

You do not have to be brilliant
You do not need to be bright
You don’t even need two good eyes in your head
To see what is wrong and what’s right
If you believe in democracy the truth has been plain from the jump
Know he’ll take it away
And you won’t get it back
Before you vote Donald Trump

I would vote to have you understand this
I would vote to have you not choose
A felon who is given immunity
With power he craves to abuse
I would vote to oppose Project 25
That declares a White National State
Where women are objects, dissent is a crime
Fueled by privilege, lies, fear, and hate

So, the next time you see a headline
And the latest results of some poll
I would vote you consider the choice that you have
That can cost us a terrible toll
Will you vote for an imperfect party
And whoever they put on their stump
Or elect a crime family tyrant and friends
And your leader for life, Donald Trump?

I vote you beware
And we won’t have to go there,
With a leader for life, Donald Trump.
