Had we but world enough and time This coyness, Dems, would be no crime. We could just sit and wish and wait Till none remember that debate, And how it showed the toll that age Brings to those on history’s stage. But such a time, I truly fear, Won’t come until some distant year When voters will no more remember— Decades after this November.
And at my back I now can hear Trump’s vengeful ego hurrying near, Powered by the Court’s new orders, Caging babies at the borders Turning long-won rights to ash, it’s Now the time of neofascists. Unless you opt to dump Good Joe, A stellar prez, as we all know. But if you choose to let him run, Democracy’s a setting sun. The time for politesse is done. And should your duties you neglect, a Result will be a Trump trifecta. So, get off your respective duffs, Your brains are not enchained in cuffs. Come Hakeem, Nancy and Chuck Schumer: Tell Good Joe it’s no false rumor That autocrats will win this race Should Joe still occupy the place Atop the Democratic ticket. Though in his stead, a gnarly thicket Awaits the Dems as they must pick it: A candidate who’ll win the Blue Wall States Joe Won, or build a New Wall. But times a’wastin’. Dark Ages loom Unless you act to squelch this doom. It’s time for some strategic smarts, Employ your minds, enlist your hearts, It’s time for democratic deeds. Become the pols the nation needs.
