Time to Fire and Lock Him Away

by Ernie McCray

It’s great
that we continue
to chant and sing
“No Kings”
and constantly scream
at ICE
and other such things
but now
it’s time to
take-to-the streets
and demand
the termination of Donald J’s presidency
before he makes our democracy
look like a ship
sinking in a turbulent sea,
and we should do so
for any number of reasons
that we could list randomly,
considering that’s how he operates daily,
a convicted felon
who sleeps on the job
and snaps awake
and undertakes some important presidential task
ever so haphazardly and disorderly,
a repulsive excuse of a man
known for caging brown children or suddenly firing people
or freezing a vital program or grant
on the spot
like a certifiable crackpot
and wannabe despot,
constantly trying to erase Black History
or any dark skin people’s past,
deaf to rules of law,
one who tampers with classified documentations
and engages in unnecessary military aggressions and escalations
and withdraws from alliances and treaties and organizations
that are designed for our protection
and inflicts tariffs on friendly nations that increase inflation
and economic instability,
not to mention that he
causes judges to work overtime
keeping up with his crimes
and makes himself and his family
more wealthy through corruption and obstruction
and insurrection
of all kinds…

I know this barely scratches the surface
of this asinine narcissist’s misgivings
but it certainly is enough
to show
that he is more the poster boy
for somebody
a jailer should lock up and throw away the key
than someone
fit to be our president.

And, to show our discontent
we should rally in the street
right away
and there we should stay
until he’s fired and locked away.
