NO ISLAND FOR ME

I do not live on an island
But life is pretty much like that
I live alone, except my daughter
And her son are with me for a while
This is real nice but being alone
Still overwhelms me
I can handle most situations, but
With the pandemic, everything seems worse
The trouble with these times is
You never know where the truth lies
There are the “Christian People”
Who claim the President is a fraud and
The virus is his fault and totally
Disregard all of his accomplishments
Even while being investigated by the Senate
And being exonerated and then at great cost
Investigated by the Mueller team and
Again exonerated, but impeached for
Unimpeachable charges and found not guilty
 
He started up the economy, bringing
Manufacturing back to our country
Reduced unemployment, increased
Employment; ended regulations
Began rebuilding; increased GDP
Saw the Stock Market soar; ended
Foolish affiliations; established new ones
Reduced taxes and has much more to do
The Covid-19 situation upset more
Than one apple cart.  States rule
Essential businesses only
Walmart but not Mom and Pop
And the list could go on
Hospitals empty
No elective surgery
Abortions though are okay
So I sit still waiting
Listening to wisdom
Listening to the absurd
It will end; it always does
