As we watch the so-called President
He speaks his so-called mind
Tweeting out his so-called wisdom
That his so-called experts find
Watch him go to so-called breakfast
To recite a so-called prayer;
Run his tiny so-called fingers
Through his golden so-called hair
Watch him sign his so-called orders
Meant to kill the so-called laws
Pissing off the so-called people
Who point out his so-called flaws
Watch him tout his so-called landslide
(This, despite that so-called fraud)
Watch him use his so-called mandate
Like the so-called Wrath Of God
Watch him change the so-called country
Watch him break the so-called rules;
In the name of so-called freedom,
Watch him gut our so-called schools
In the search for so-called safety
Watch him rock the so-called boat…
Fuck the so-called constitution
And your so-called right to vote
Cuttlecap tip to Nick Hanauer on twitter.
Isn’t it wonderful that humans have invented language so they can call things so?
Nicely writ and spot on.
Just one suggested edit in the hope it helps – I’d change that “Or” in the last sentence to “And” instead.
Ooh, you are right.
I actually thought about that, but a literal “right to vote” is one of those things that people argue about, not being explicitly, separately delineated. But, yeah, if you see it too…
I have permanently moved to using so-called-President Trump. So much so that it is now the recommended phrase in the text suggestion line as soon as I type “so-“.
