wherefore wisdom comprehend not darkness
in an outspoken politician's heart
when contemplating future lawlessness
to force a nation's goodness to depart
with many little rules to transform day
from life's pleasant sunshine to endless night
and a multitude of ways to portray
his condemnation for a lesser's plight
signing lawless presidential orders
designed to drive up life's daily expense
and to remove the pretense of borders
protecting us from terror's consequence
how then a loathsome lib'ral pen destroy
the promise of America's great dream
with enmity his government deploy
many agents to whom evil esteem
when then congressional action abide
upon a promised lawful liberty
contained in a constitution applied
to guarantee freedom's posterity
when again arise goodness to defend
the lost principles godliness reveal
to a people drowning at sorrow's end
while patiently awaiting death's repeal
