A Scary Indictment

The more Trump opens his mouth,

The more obnoxious he gets

As he spews his venomous vitriol

And abusive epithets.

 

His disquieting rhetoric--

Each xenophobic word--

Makes the man more dangerous,

Disgusting, and absurd.

 

His rude, misogynistic,

And truculent retorts

Show a malicious obsession

Of a person out of sorts.

 

Some people like him because

For him nothing's taboo.

He says out loud what he thinks.

THAT'S what CHILDREN do!

 

The number of people who like him--

A demagogue we should be dreading--

Reflects the scary direction

This country seems to be heading.
