This Is Not The Change You Want

Before talking Iran,
Which will be Trump's next ploy,
Some confrontation before November,
In which they'll be employed,

Let's agree that change is a good concept,
In U.S. politics,
Even Obama was a victim of,
Corrupt lobbyist influence antics,

But let's not pretend Trump is an option,
To the old status quo,
His type of fascist rule's been tried before,
Let's try what we don't know,
Like good intent,
Backed by good policy,
Making America a Trump business,
Is a good recipe for bankruptsy.

Kylie Moore-Gilbert

So, Kylie Moore-Gilbert,
(I have just heard of her),
Was jailed in Iran, two thousand, eighteen,
At the Tehran airport,

She was a lecturer in Australia,
With Australian passport,
Just on her way home from a conference,
Arrested for being an informer,

She has been moved to the Qarchak prison,
Notoriously bad,
Sorry Iran, but 'bad' in your country,
Will surely make her mad,
I mean crazy,
She's not seen her fam'ly,
Sleeping on the floor, confined in the hole,
Eight years left for something she's never been.
