I HAVE A (BAD) DREAM

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

My ThankYou sign a noble shield,

Pretending no one sees the sham of

Racial bigotry concealed.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter

We can feign naiveté.

That sign? It isn’t what you think.

‘Cause we would never think that way.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Free to lie about my aims.

I’ll use police as props to cover

Sneaky plans, dishonest games.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

BLM stood in my way.

I banged the drum of law and order,

Certain that would win the day.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Freed from pesky things like facts,

Free to offer up my vision

With spiteful words and hurtful acts.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

I’ll use the Blue, I have no shame.

This nuisance Black Lives Matter movement

Is the culprit, they’re to blame.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Countless ‘Karens’ by my side,

Encouraging their bad behavior,

Relishing them with covert pride.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Deep resentments finally freed,

My fears unleashed, my bias bared,

In every manner, thought and deed.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Knowing I could use a gun,

And guiltless, shoot the enemy,

Protected by the lawless one.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Though a “sucker” I am not.

My sign means Thanks to all in Blue,

Except if they happen to get shot.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Friend of White supremacy,

Free to falsify our language,

Love means hate, lies mean honesty.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Blindly following his advice,

Looking forward to November

When I will be voting twice.

I dreamt I was a Trump supporter,

Stress-free living by the sea,

Where Black Lives Matter not at all,

My sole concern, security.

I finally awoke from this drama,

Now words have meaning, facts are real,

And being a Donald Trump supporter

Is not the way I want to feel.
