No ‘Trump Account’ for my kid!

$1k free in college savings from the government...

Why does Trumpelstiltskin occupy my mind free from rent?

Tainted with Cadet Bone Spurs’ last name 

This college savings plan idea still feels like a stain

A life and career built on lies, racism and false fame

Another con?

Another grift, dammit don!

Years from now, will she frown or smile?

When compound interest yields a modest money pile

Should she benefit from this blood money?

Should I lie, ‘I did the best that I could, honey?’

If I don’t invest, she’ll be thousands behind her MAGA peers

And we’ll be deep in debt for dozens of years

The whole system is fixed

If I do do it, Mango Mussolini wins again, get the gist?

The system seems to benefit the mostly affluent and white

There have never been laws to legislate their entire life

George Washington didn’t need to register to vote or marry his wife!

But Black folks still need permission, just to live their own life

My ancestors’ strife 

Still haunts me, lately at night

Forcing me to toss and turn

And jump out of bed

With sweat on my back, and pain in my head

Yelling, compelling me to give into doubt

If it feels wrong, you must find an alternative route

Just because your neighbor is white

That doesn’t mean you’re exempt from the fight!

You must be intentional and irrational when

Discrimination and racism begin all over again

Call out society, coworkers, family, and your friend

Keep having conversations until nobody is a stranger

Reread history to truly understand your anger 

Amoral laws can transform a harmless tool into a serious danger

Like an alley abortion and a coat hanger

Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, back when Biden was POTUS 

More than half of white American women still voted for 'Agent Orange', like we didn’t all notice!

They chose 'Uncle Scam' over Kamala Harris

Voting against their own interests, but they still aren’t held accountable or even embarrassed!

What’s the point in even writing this?

If I can’t change the hearts and minds of the wrong?

I should have ended this several sentences ago, because it is way too long…
