Donald at the Bat – Day 928, The Battle Hymn of the Bigot (parody to Battle Hymn of the Republic)

Day 928 – The Battle Hymn of the Bigot

(a parody to Battle Hymn of the Republic)

 

There have been two more mass shootings, over thirty people dead,

Young, hate-filled, white, male shooters: dozens more were shot and bled.

One shooter is in custody.  What scrambled up his head?

And death goes marching on.

 

Chorus:

White Supremacy, forever!

Will mass shootings last forever?

Bigots shrug and say, “Whatever.”

And death goes marching on.

 

Let preachers tell their congregations, “Get up off your knees!

“Stop praying and take action.  Prayer will not cure our disease.”

It’s easy access to a gun that leads to shooting sprees.

And death goes marching on.

 

Chorus: White Supremacy, forever…..

 

Republicans bow in obeisance to the NRA.

The Tweeter stirs up racial hatred almost every day.

And Mitch McConnell, in the Senate, adds to our dismay.

And death goes marching on.

 

Chorus:

White Supremacy, forever!

Will mass shootings last forever?

Bigots shrug and say, “Whatever.”

And death goes marching on.

 

Here’s one from yesterday.  The one on the first El Paso shooting is much longer.

 

The same damn thing, this time, Ohio, nine more were shot dead.

If politicians do not act, there’s more of this ahead.

With white supremacists unleashed by presidential rant,

Trump’s crowds are chanting, “Send them back,” while he basks in the chant.

 

When terrorists are foreign born or Muslim, then we act.

But when they’re good old Christian boys, then we do not react.

Our nuts can buy guns easily, this havoc the result.

Lax gun laws, white supremacy: the problem’s not occult.

 

Who needs assault-style weapons?  No deer hunter uses one.

And why not background checks and licenses to buy a gun?

Who needs a thousand bullets and a great big magazine?

The answer’s clear; a terrorist.  Results have been obscene.

 

The Senate’s Mitch McConnell is opposed to gun control.

He could not be more harmful if he were a Russian mole.

For Putin’s spies and bots have put democracy on trial.

While Donald rants and Mitch obstructs, we see Vlad Putin smile.
