If she went to Trump
On her hands and knees
Begging him to pardon
That grandma they seized
For her non-violent crime
Even if she said please
He’d likely ignore her
Instead of appease

Let me add a salient fact
The grandma in question
Happens to be black
But he’s not a racist
It must be an act
Just look at the people
He tend to attract

One non-violent act
To which she admitted
See no one denies
Whether she did it
But they gave her life
For the crime she committed
So she rots in prison
And I just don’t get it

Look at the characters
That he didn’t deny
Scooter Libby who outed
An American spy
And Sheriff Apaio
Makes you wonder why
But not the grandma
Who’ll be there ‘til she die
