a demagogue and a bully

a demagogue and a bully

to pander to their prejudice

fanning the flames of hatred

of division within our nation

hoping to catch the wave

of the fomented revolution

seeking only to splinter

the fabric of our nation

to cast pearls before swine

to milk the bitter harvest

a demagogue and a bully

spewing a pack of lies
