This is a fact
That you can’t deny
Racism is as American
As apple pie
To say otherwise
Would be to lie
When there is no need to
So, I will not try

The President is
A racist shame
Telling Representatives of color
Go back to where you came
But they’re all Americans
So it ain’t the same
Yet the Republicans
Refuse to place any blame

He hides behind
A barrage of racist tweets
Full of misspelled words
That he repeats
Which he shares with those
That he frequently meets
Like a group of reporters
On White House beats

Racists by and large
Usually run or hide
When they’re pointed out
And identified
But its an accurate term
That must be applied
Whether, or not
They care to confide
