The Grand Canyon

The sad sight that greets my eyes

Evil Knievel ain't got nothing on this canyon jump,

this grand canyon created and exploited by Trump,

setting wife against husband, grown children against 

Mom or Dad.

To quote the bloated ego man himself, 'sad, very sad!'

Divisions, a widening gulf, a rending we may never 

recover from,

The ultimate disaster to one side, and a blessing for 

our country to some.

The crude mutterings of a man-child, or the ultimate 

wisdom, depends

on where you stand--there is no middle ground, no 

one pretends

to understand the other, and gather in the middle for 

a meeting of the minds,

no, I'm sitting here watching as the thread of civility 

unwinds.

The impossibly-distant bank of the other side is 

out of our reach,

I must ask everyone, what kind of lesson to our kids 

does this teach?
