@eilperin


The Prez is a fireworks freak/they go off because he will speak/A rally he's stagin'/that offers contagion/to those with a mind that is weak.



Many Minnesota Police Officers Remain on the Force Despite Misconduct.

Cops bounce back like rubber balls/Rehired even after brawls/Perhaps it ain't a good idear/to let them work sans any fear/of retribution for their acts/against the homeless and the blacks.
