E Pluribus Unum

...inspired by 'To The President-Elect' by Joseph Brodsky You've reached the pinnacle of fame where double-speak's the daily game, so many words, so little meaning, popinjay, so skilled at preening. Posing for a photo-op your perfect hair a puissant crop, your perfect smile, a frozen glare which fools the foolish everywhere. Demagoguery designed to derogate the keener mind, a bush will hide what lies behind and mark the downfall of your kind.

Imagine, no comment when therE should be many. You bring out the worst of people when they get a bit of fame and how true it all is. Your descriptions are second to none. Well done my friend!
