And so last week, Republicans--
Who legislate from Capitol Hill--
Passed what was very UNPOPULAR:
Trump's big, ugly billionaire bill.
UNPOPULAR? Republicans don't seem to care.

CEDING their congressional POWER
To Donald Trump--a would-be king--
They are there to do his bidding.
The man has got them on a string.
CEDING POWER? Republicans don't seem to care.

Giving TAX BREAKS to the WEALTHY,
Republicans are truly loath
To tell the truth--that these tax breaks
Really will not spur on growth.
UNFAIR TAX BREAKS? Republicans don't seem to care.

Ask them why they are taking billions
Of dollars from health care. Here's one reply--
Which isn't very compassionate--
Someday EVERYBODY MUST DIE.
PEOPLE SUFFERING? Republicans don't seem to care.

By giving ICE unprecedented
Power, it is crystal clear
That THAT along with billions of dollars
Could help create a POLICE STATE here.
POLICE STATE? Republicans don't seem to care.

Republicans always scream about debt,
But when they have power, they're very quiet.
The NATIONAL DEBT will greatly increase.
What happened to their debt-free diet?
NATIONAL DEBT? Republicans don't seem to care.

When critics oppose the bill, Trump says
He hates the Democrats. Not smart.
He thus INCITES more VIOLENCE
And keeps on tearing the country apart.
INCITING VIOLENCE? Republicans don't seem to care.

So what will be the Republicans' fate
When people vote in FUTURE ELECTIONS?
Will they lose at the ballot box
For heartlessness and misguided affections?
FUTURE ELECTIONS? Ah, NOW they'll care.
