I wrote an earlier version of this poem on a friend’s blog a few weeks ago. I finally had time to do a bit of editing and publish it here.

 

What if the RepubliCants won
And a new Dark Ages begun?

Would Texas Creationists done
Put God and prayer in classrooms?
Same-sex marriage is abandoned,
And Gays and Lesbians sanctioned.

English required for election,
And for the right to vote for goons
Who say terrorists seek our doom.
No health care? There’s room in a tomb.
Taking charge of a woman’s womb
,Repealed the right to abortion.

Factories and mills wildly run
With CO2 laws soon undone
Burning oil and coal by the ton
Globe sears hot in a blazing sun.
The gap between rich and poor gone
The rich all the money have won,

Along with water rights, and the guns
And of opposition, there is none.
Is this America in 2021 –
If the RepubliCants the country won?
