The Green and Purple People
He awoke in the morning thanking God he was white
Or was he now the only god he was not quite sure
Throwing open the curtains was shocked at the sight
A crowd of Green and Purple people lined up to the door
He rang for security for this just could not be
Two purple people arrived asking why he was still there
He screamed he was the president of the land of the free
He’d been elected They said they didn’t care
His election was voided because only whites could vote
Not just white they also must be male
Now only Green and Purple people were of note
He’d better move out or face a life in jail
He packed his bags as he ranted and he raved
Swearing Green and Purple would get a comeuppance
He was a white supremacist and whites must be saved
But the Green and Purple judges didn’t care a tuppence
He screamed as they removed his glamour and glitter
That his red-capped followers would come to his aid
He raged like a wounded bull but he was old and bitter
They told him the Green and Purple were to be obeyed
A life of bullying and threatening came to an end
When the Green and Purple decided enough was enough
The ex-president could no longer bully and pretend
When the Green and Purple rose up and called his bluff
