Trump at Mt. Rushmore
Government by spectacle is what we have here
Desecrating Indian sacred lands while hundreds cheer
Sculptor Borgium for Trump would have been ok
Because he was an ardent supporter of the KKK
The sizeable crowd jammed in cheek by jowl
Elicited approving howls.
Vilifying the cancel movement and statue removal
Elicited from the crowds stirring approval
Trump applaud Jackson and his monument
Jackson a slave owner Trumps base approves
And the Indians about Jackson’s Trail of Tears say
4000 relocated Indians died along the way
The event itself violated every CDC guideline
His fawning crowd shoulder to shoulder with no masks seen
A theme seen before and refined
With coronavirus surely on the scene
With the foliage in a bone dry state
Fireworks the crowd did appreciate
But violated every rule we know about
But typical of a totally selfish lout
