The Anointed One?

The leader's fans grovel before him--

The wannabe autocrat.

The "anointed one" is what they call him.

Yes, they actually call him that--

 

A morally corrupt man

With nineteen or so accusations

Of sexual misconduct, and is

The center of many investigations;

 

Whose character ought to be

A shining example in people's lives,

And yet who has, as everyone knows,

Cheated on ALL three of his wives;

 

Whose thirst for attention, praise, fame,

And recognition is undying;

Who's known for stiffing workers and is

Given to pathological lying;

 

Who brags about grabbing women's

Private parts because he can,

Because he thinks his wealth has made him

A privileged, entitled man;

 

Who had a fling with a porno star

When his son was four-months-old;

Who also paid hush money to

A sexy Playboy centerfold;

 

Who incites hateful white extremists,

Who now feel more emboldened to spread

Hatred and animosity

And cause innocent blood to be shed.

 

And yet…and yet…despite all this,

A person whom rational people would shun

Is called by some supporters out there

A savior--THE anointed one.

 

What a mondo bizzarro we live in!

Nowadays so much is at stake.

But calling him the anointed one?

For goodness' sake! Give us a break!

 

Unless one day they open their eyes,

They'll be in for a BIG surprise.
