To the Heartland

 

May I remind you, in case you've forgotten?

Your soybeans filled bins, all unsold and rotten.

Trump’s high tariffs failed: China bought from Brazil.

His trade war left you no orders to fill.

While your soy farms lay fallow, flooded or failed,

Many of you went bankrupt; some were indeed jailed.

He laughed as you farmers in the wind slowly twisted.

(He played at golf; you barely existed.)

Farm bailout bought your vote and a MAGA hat.

He schmoozed with Putin; his assets grew fat.

Respectfully (and in your defense)

You mistook charisma for competence.

He scoffs at your values, this Donnie the con.

In the ’24 election will you again be his pawn?
