The Empathy Card


Joe says he's still going to East Palestine, why does anyone care.
Their lives have moved on, why would they want Biden there.
No one wants to hear him blabbing on about something stupid or inane.
No one needs to have Joe Biden lie to them about feeling their pain.
Six months have already gone by, Biden said he didn't have the time.
It would disrupt his vacations, or his ongoing fight against crime.

Maybe he's waiting until a train derails in his Rehobeth front yard.
He can claim he knows how they're hurting, play the empathy card.
Quit telling Joe to visit disaster sites, when he's a disaster himself.
He doesn't give a damn or care about anyone's wellbeing or health.
Who needs his boots on the ground, gawking around like a tourist.
Reading someone elses words, with insincerity that bores us.

Now he's Joey on the spot in Florida, he hit the ground at a shuffle.
I guess he was told to get down there, hopefully avoid a kerfuffle.
There he is on TV trying to look serious, by patting a downed tree.
If my house was destroyed, he'd be the last thing I want to see.
Maybe he has ulterior motives, Florida is known for it's beaches.
Or maybe he's finally reaching out in an attempt to not reach us.

Go back to Washington Joe and do some more global smarming.
Tell us the storms are worse now because the Caribbean is warming.
Don't tell us about undersea volcanos, blame it on the GOP scapegoat.
Keep the Climate Change crap in the headlines, if it  floats your boat.
We know your agenda Joe, we know your sympathy is malarky.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lahainans are now calling you Sparky.
