To Heartland Soy Farmers

 

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

Your soybeans went nowhere, 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; others were 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, does Donnie the con.

In his tariff wars, you’re simply a pawn.
