Emboldened by the brazen bigotry of his bearing,
he betrayed the people who gave him his power,
a democracy broken by a peering, prying, lying
leader and furthering his feathering by freely
paving a patterned pathway in bribes and scandal.
————————————
Helpless we watch and wearily we retweet or
write to those who should be able to help, but
their hands are tied by a shocking symphony
of singing sycophants and silently those who
could form an opposition foolishly hum along
———————-
to a tune played on strings made from the gut of
the poor and a wonderful woman, who sought to
help her son thrive, starved, silent, while the beats
of the drums called her illegal and filled her with
the cacophony of self interest and a cruel crescendo
————————————–
of hatred, and still the few make rules for the many
and instil racism and misogyny, mistaking money
for policy, and loosing upon the children of humble,
heartwarming folk, fighting for a far fairer force,
the fascist salute of idolatry and the evil of eugenics.
