Earth’s poor need USAID?
Earth’s richest man does not agree:
The agencies have all gone dumb,
Which means belt-tightening for some.
Pubescent geeks have changed the locks;
Now drugs are sitting on the docks
In Port Sudan: you say they’ll rot?
Tell one who cares, for DOGE does not.
The scientists are muzzled, so
The climate’s fine, for all we’ll know;
We’ve lost the Green New Deal because
It’s Biden’s scheme, like paper straws.
Musk knows his DOGE will make mistakes:
He goose-steps on, while Congress shakes;
The law may try to do its bit,
But Thomas is on top of it.
The GOP observes and cowers,
Applauding as it’s stripped of powers;
We too can see our rights decreased
For all of four more years! At least.
