Backwards In TimeA Poem by Michael StevensWhat may come to pass![]() Time
was, when we'd have laughed Trump out of the room, dismissed him as a crazy b*****d, who preaches doom and gloom.
But some of us, at least, worship at the alter of The Don. We don't even try to hide our racism--all pretense is gone.
It's out in the open--our nineteen forty's are showing, because backwards in time is where we are going.
Back to a time when discrimination ruled the day, back to a turbulent time when living in fear was our way.
Let's blame others for everything, view them with mistrust. I can't believe the solutions that Donny-Boy has discussed.
And that some of us believe that he's spouting the right solutions, to anything--we've forgotten the past, is my very sad conclusion.
All those years of enlightenment tossed out with the trash, now we follow the Dread Pied Piper, and we're headed for a crash.
