Things That Go Trump In the Night

Predators, kleptocrats looting our nation
vicious attacks on our very foundation
Fascistic gangsters assaulting our rights   
These are some things
that go Trump in the night
   
Trashing due process and habeas corpus
flouting all laws as if they have no purpose
What kind of criminal thinks this is right?
These are some things
that go Trump in the night
   
He calls nations “shit hole countries”
if they’re not all white
Oh, he is an expert on shit holes, alright:
The things that go Trump at night!
 
One-seventy billion for mass deportations
Three thousand daily: it’s terrorization
Neighbors are vanishing, friends disappear
Families torn apart, living in fear 
   
Thugs roam our streets in their gaiters & camo
hunting the innocent, armed and with ammo 
Raids in the shadows, they come for the meek 
Who are these goons? Trump’s Secret Police!
   
We must stand up! We must speak out!
We’ll defend our rights!
For justice and liberty, we have to fight
the things that go Trump at night!
