Enjoy creating pictures
and drawing scenes
so all might witness
the things that I dream.
I don’t draw with colors,
I don’t sculpt with clay,
it’s words strung together
with which I love to play.
No doubt I’m a dreamer
building castles in the sand
that with inundating high tide
will again disband.
I hear a thousand voices
whispering in my ear,
begging me to listen
so I draw ever nearer.
Beauty I envision
that I try to recreate
is but pale reflection;
my work is second rate.
But the voices they keep calling
asking what’s gone wrong,
how did we fall to madness,
mistake weak for strong?
Gone is bully-pulpit,
now it’s just bully,
with a path to greatness
that is sickening disease.
With contempt for his brothers
and nearly every mother’s son,
declares that all are losers
while he’s the sickest one.
He threatens fire and fury
to fall from the sky
his treatment for our problems
will not help us survive.
History’s full of leaders
that advanced mankind,
folks who raised us all up
from primordial slime.
But some will trumpet fury
and deliver vitriol
confusing great leadership
with immature catcalls.
Pygmy who can’t see horizon
no matter how hard he looks,
whose main objective
is to play the crook.
Peter was a disciple
who denied his boss
but this guy’s Peter Principle
may be US’s greatest loss.
I pray voices that I’m hearing
are but nay saying nabobs
But DJT, like RMN,
is unfit for presidential job.
A Brinksman as Great Leader’s
been called by Donald Trump,
with four horsemen from the heavens
pray we don’t all wind up on our rumps.
Safe within his silo’s
no doubt where he’ll make the call
and with his damn covfefe
may just end us all.
Camelot’s no longer guided
by great errant knight
at head of Round Table’s
jester who lacks insight.
My voices have gone silent,
guess they’re underground,
if we survive this crisis
perhaps they’ll come back around.
