Stormy Lady Poetry

No Money for You Today Says The Donald

No Money for You Today Says The Donald

The Donald has a message
To the American people
Starting now today

All federal grants and loans
Are suspended pending review
All USAID is frozen too

I am suspending government funding
To make sure that money
Does not go to DEI programs

Does not go
To support evil Trans people
Who by the way no longer exists

And I want to make sure
You know that
There is no money
For you.

Only for the rich
And the powerful
Who will still get
Their money, honey.

For the rest of you
You have to wait
Until we get around to it

For the rights to you
Have been sold.
