When Crazy Fiction Becomes Our "Facts"

It's amazing how many people are not

Appalled by Trump's alternate reality,

Which is fed by political gibberish

That gives it a vitriolic vitality.

 

The man sees the world not as it is,

But only in how he can mold and shape it.

His main relationship with the earth

Is finding ways to plunder and rape it.

 

Scorning science and fact-based query,

He is more content to remain

In a protective shell of ignorance.

That's impossible to explain.

 

Alternative facts permeate

His psyche, leaving him out of touch

With truths that help the world progress.

To him such truths are only a crutch.

 

He's conned the people into believing

That corporations would never deceive them.

When he and his team make up stories,

Astonishingly, people believe them!

 

Political correctness to him

Is an obstacle in his path,

And anyone who points that out

Becomes the target of his wrath.

 

Paranoia underlies

His selfish motives and decisions.

Bizarre conspiracy theories color

Much of the content of his visions.

 

Compassion to him is strictly conditional

And given with expectations in mind.

Strict adherence to extreme notions

Has made him forget how to be kind.

 

His idea of greatness is really

A chimera that reiterates

A motto of separation: "We

The privileged of the United States."
