Reality Unhinged!

Reality Unhinged!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Just turn on the news!

"

Carnival barker with a towering ego,

this ain't one of your in-breeder shows.

 

You know, asinine people doing asinine things,

that are as far from reality as you can get. Brings

 

new meaning to the phrase, 'dumbing it down,'

with the carnival barker driving the clown

 

car. Lately, I've heard people say, 'He may be a joke

as a politician, but at least he strives to entertain!' Broke

 

people watching the antics of an impossibly-rich

clown. This is our future, not an entertainment show, 'Unhitched

 

From Reality!', or a better title might be 'Unhinged Dude

Who's Dragging Everybody Down the Cesspool by Being a Rude,

 

Crude, Obnoxious Embarrassment!' Tell me again

why you're stupid enough to hope he will win?

 

This is our reality, not another asinine reality show.

A clown in the circus is entertaining, but as president? No!
