there must be a soft underbelly

to the sin of morbid leadership

but the fingers of my curious mind

have not found it

 

searching a soulful plain

miles of lonely terrain

all the signs say to turn back

the crooked road will wear

down perseverance

 

the billboards lie

it is not only five miles

to freedom from tyranny

it is world's away

the spare incentive

is as flat

 

as the four-good resolve

we started out with

and the engine of faith

is about to stall

anyway

 

I think we should walk the rest of the way

it will take much longer

and by the time we arrive

maybe the sordid sinner

will have crossed his heart

for the final time.

Well, I could take a guess at this one, but he'd only call it fake news and whine about it on his "truth" social!
Maybe I'll send Neil Degrasse Tyson's start all a query to try figure out the odds of everyone who disagrees with the orange man baby being wrong and him being right.
I mean, I'm nor saying it would be conclusive, but I'm sure it would be bigger than "just an occasional fib" 😃

Yes, just a shade bigger!
Grinning here.
