A Note to Teddie

A Note to Teddie

Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz, as an American politician,

Can you explain to me or anyone the status of your condition?

Your emotional distortions, in tandem with your mental contortions,

Can only be explained by your bank account’s proportions.

How dare you try to explain away the deaths of children in Uvalde,

By way of a teacher’s negligence in securing a doorway?

No matter which way the tale is spun, it’s become apparent to everyone,

That your loyalties are bought and paid for by the purveyor of the gun.

To twist the facts you’ve tried and tried, some you’ve even tossed aside,

But the central matter here, Ted, is you’re accessory to homicide.

Second Amendment remains secure, it’s obvious that we need a cure,

But the NRA’s onus and your allegiance to them you are trying to obscure.

Bravery is not defined by the roar of the carbine,

Is it true Ted that without the gun you truly have no spine?

By advancing the stance we see, the depth of your culpability,

Is something you do to yourself, by the peal of your own decree.

Ted, this take don’t miss, my words you should never dismiss,

Unless you change your ways this instant, you’ll go down for this.
