SNAKES IN THE GRASS <\/p>\n

They’re all snakes in the grass,
\nObsessed with looking for blood,
\nWatch them foolishly pushing on,
\nThough collusion was just a dud.<\/p>\n

What is wrong with those people?
\nTheir hatred just runs so deep,
\nThey better stop their behavior,
\nOr their power they will not keep.<\/p>\n

For many months they were at it,
\nHoping to bring down the US pres,
\nRejecting the wisdom of others,
\nIgnoring what anyone else says.<\/p>\n

Most Americans are so very tired,
\nOf the divisions caused by snakes,
\nThe nation needs time to heal now,
\nBut those serpents give no breaks.<\/p>\n

So as 2020 draws even more closer,
\nMore desperate they grow each day,
\nWhat vile deed will they try next?
\n“Please stop them!” to God I pray.<\/p>\n

It is so foolish to try to undo,
\nWhat the Lord has apparently done,
\nIf we truly believe God’s Word,
\nThen Donald Trump must be the one.<\/p>\n

For God alone raises up leaders,
\nIn order for His plans to fulfill,
\nAnd though snakes may not like it,
\nThey need to swallow a bitter pill.<\/p>\n

For to stand in the Almighty’s way,
\nInvites trouble with the Most High,
\nIf you mess with God’s anointed,
\nIt is like poking Him in the eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
