Unedited Trump Shooting

July thirteenth was not a Friday 
Yet it was a black day for the USA
Twenty twenty four the year
and vote Biden versus Trump nears
Election fourth six round two
Trump versus Biden again eww
Was it stolen in twenty twenty? 
Not sure but conspiracies aplenty. 
Dementia yesterday on the NATO stage.
Should presidency have a maximum age?
Orange man is a liar he's bad for us
Let's go Brandon the opposing chorus
Election rally at the Butler Farm Show
Pennsylvania skies now have a red glow
MAGA caps line the crowd
"Four more years" they have vowed! 
As nominee Trump speaks to the room 
A deranged man attempts to fill a tomb
Multiple shots missed by mile
One hit Mr Trump near his smile
A new day that will live on in infamy
Assassin news instead of debate feeds
Donald joins the ranks of JFK and Lincoln
Also the likes of Roosevelt and Reagan
Ranks of men shot at while serving their calling
Gun fights in the arena of thought. How appalling! 
It's so clearly staged
Shame that they missed
I'm so enraged
He held up his fist! 
A man died today for sitting in the crowd
Cheering at that shouldn't be allowed! 
So many say he should have been killed
But fail to see the larger play here
I hate my political enemy full willed
The Archduke died under this veneer 
And then the Great War was drilled
Is this really what we want to appear? 
Someone is willing to kill a political rival
It's so unAmerican and cruel that's final
No matter who is actually behind this plot
Y'all should act better I know you were taught!! 
July thirteen he was shot in the ear
You should not let up a joyous cheer 
For someone cheating electoral votes
Destroy an opponent by blood not quotes
Tonight Donald Trump was shot in the head
As of 1130 central tonight we have two dead. 
Shot from outside the venue 
Only morals not security could help
Witnesses say they saw him and tried to raise a red flag
Only it was too late when they removed the gag
A lone gunman shot off a few rounds.
Shot a candidate who won't back down.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
