đ¶ Trumpolumpolis and the Trumpkins đ¶
(A Satirical Song)
(Verse 1)
In the land of Trumpolumpolis, under orange-tinged skies,
The Trumpkins gather daily, blinking wide their eyes.
Trumpolumpolis stands on high, his hair a swirling seal,
Proclaiming grand decrees aloud on how they ought to feel.
(Chorus)
đ¶ Are you mad, are you glad, are you scared, are you brave?
Just check the mood of Trumpolump â be a feeling’s knave!
Do you love it, do you loathe it, do you even know what’s real?
Or was it Trumpolumpolis who told you how to feel? đ¶
(Verse 2)
âToday,â he shouts, âweâre angry! At what? Oh, never mind â
The point is not the reason; itâs the fury you must find!â
The Trumpkins nod obediently, a tear rolls down each cheek,
Confused at what theyâre crying for â but Trumpkins mustnât speak.
(Chorus)
đ¶ Are you proud, are you loud, are you basking in the glow?
Or did the winds of Trumpolump decide the way you blow?
Is it love or just a habit to believe that what you feel,
Was whispered by a Trumpolump, instead of being real? đ¶
(Bridge â a little more reflective)
And in the hush of twilight, some Trumpkins start to dream,
âWas that my thought or his thought, piped into my stream?â
But dawn brings fresh instructions â todayâs new wrath or zeal,
And any stray self-questioning is buried under steel.
(Final Chorus)
đ¶ Are you sure, are you pure, are you thinking for yourself?
Or was the shelf already stocked when you picked from the shelf?
Did you feel it in your marrow, or was it part of the deal â
That Trumpolumpolis told you just exactly how to feel? đ¶
(Outro)
So ponder, fellow dreamer, when feelings next appear:
Is it thunder from your heart â or just Trumpolump in your ear?
