Let’s not pretend,
That Make America Great Again
Doesn’t refer
To a time back when
Blacks and others were
Hung from trees
And the stench from their carcasses
Over powered the breeze

Let’s not pretend
That Make America Great Again
Isn’t riminiscent
Of how the red man was treated
After being bamboozled
Killed savagely and defeated
Because of blind hatred
That was so deep-seated

Let’s not pretend
That Make America Great Again
Isn’t a phrase
Made to cover sin
Based on the concept
Of the three fifth men
Whose opportunities
Are none to slim

Let’s not pretend
That Make America Great Again
Doesn’t hark back to
Where the color of skin
Was a clear indicator
Of who was foe or friend
Even though that era
Should have come to an end
