Madness in Trumplandia

A Poem by Bob B

Madness pervades Trumplandia

As Donald Trump basks in delusion.

Lies to cover up other untruths

Are being told in mass profusion.

Cover-ups require deceit.

We can observe how they smother

The truth, for daily we are seeing

One cover-up after another.

When Trump is wrong, heaven forbid

That he admit his gaffe or mistake!

His violent storm of lies will leave

Mass confusion in its wake.

To rally support, he needs his team

Of sycophants to back his tales,

Which looks even more absurd.

The man has clearly gone off the rails.

Then he calls his henchmen forth

To use all their ammunition

To pressure officials in agencies

To lie for Trump or lose their position.

All the corruption, all the abuse

Of power is madness in every sense.

The president is living out

His fantasies at OUR expense.

Investigative journalists

Seeking the truth, in Trump's eyes,

Are the enemy of us the people

When they point out all his lies.

The TRUTH will be HIS nemesis

Instead of being OUR enemy,

For when more people's eyes are opened,

The truth is what will set us free.

Amen, Amen, Amen! You've nailed him down. There's another that fits him well that you might like to check out. It wasn't written with our president or government in mind, but still, it fits so, so well. Check out Archangel Gabriel's, Evil Response.

I really like what you have done here. You couldn't have said it any better. If there ever was a Poem that every word had a specific and true meaning, this is it. You put much thought into it because, Heaven knows, you had three years of trash to dig through to do it. Great work!
