What They Wanted Poem by Randy McClave

Overtime pay will be no more
It will be tossed and dragged and kicked out of the door,
The EPA will also be gone
Along with starry nights and the dawn.
Tax breaks will be better for the wealthy and the billionaires
And also for companies and their heirs,
And who will be the one to suffer
The working and the middle class and no other.
Products will now be more pricey and high
Because, of higher tariffs placed on the goods of an ally,
Now our neighbors Mexico and Canada will raise their tariffs
Which their foods and products are on our shopping lists.
Social security will be cut for our retirement aid
Along with Medicare and Medicaid,
When they say their is a concept of a better plan
Never will it begin, or has it ever began.
Labor will no longer be protected
Soon, it will be forgotten, ignored and rejected,
And so long and farewell to the middle class
From new laws and amendments that will pass.
Next what we will hear will be project 2025
Who knows if we will survive
Our country will be ravaged and then torn apart
So, a new greedy and unconstitutional leader will start.
Our economy will fall and all prices will raise
You will still worship him, and give him your undying praise,
To Trump supporters I'll say this undaunted
You indeed got, what you wanted.
