I woke up to find Trump won the election
  And what does this mean for the States?
And will Donald J Trump be a fascist
Or will he be a strong man  president

Is Donald J Trump  the best selection?
I think who will be his subordinates
Folk  state from the news Trump is a ******
I hope his admin. is on the upsend

And no war on his watch -my predeliction
And what machinations does he orchastrates
How many think Trump is a sexist ?
A president surely has dividends

Cooked cauliflower taste so bland.

Being disabled I feel embarssed

What made me feel connected to the Earth
I felt like the sun doing shared gardening
Doing it buids up your sense of self worth
Everyone awaits time  of  harvesting

I felt like the sun doing shared gardening
I was a link in a green chain. for  years
Everyone awaits time  of  harvesting
And we grew tons of veggies with my peers

I was a link in a green chain. for years
All the veggies were grown organically
And we grew tons of veggies with my peers
The veggies look weird taste fantastically

All the veggies were grown organically
Doing it builds up your sense of self worth

What made me feel connected to the Earth

Those were the days I thought they never end
Making my Dragons’s Breath chili
And beer, soft drink and chili  for my friends
Chili like fire  one says  ;need beer quickly

Making my Dragons’s Breath chili          
Cooking chili is like a balance beam        
My chili tastes like tangy fire  it seems
Chili   like fire ,one says ;need beer quickly.

Cooking chili is like a balance beam  
Each party I reduce the heat
My chili tastes like tangy fire it seems
. My homies found it better to eat

Each party I reduce the heat
