48. Cesar Chavez
Fri Mar 20, 2026, 12:36 PM
14 hrs ago


There once was Cesar Chavez’s name in the sun,
Till critics said “this guy’s undone,”
The left said “oh hell,
That doesn’t sit well,”
And started scrubbing him, one by one.

But when Donald Trump made the news burn,
With scandals at every damn turn,
His fans yelled “who cares?”
And doubled their dares,
Like outrage was something to spurn.

With tapes and with lawsuits and more,
Enough to make decent folks roar,
Some shouted “disgrace!”
Others shrugged in his place—
And handed him keys to the door.

So what gets erased, what survives,
Depends on whose tribe’s in the hives,
One side says “repent,”
The other? “He’s meant
To win—screw the rest of your lives.”
