Oh Heavenly Bible

Oh heavenly Bible, he stood there holding you A fibber, a republican, the people choice So many times I saw him at the podium Jeering and coming up against the people of God. Yet, not a bible near by>> A hope of promise to his followers A curse to the dark, yellow and brown foreigners: He often said that he inherited a mess So were my father exact words After he brought a second hand old Wolsey car Back in 1967: he too inherited a mess Now the crime in the land is uprising More regrets than before: is servicing More bombing than the Vietnam War How shallow can one be? How detached is he from his constituency: The fear of the ego, and the power of the spirit A poet ponders, about his next tweet or text Such men behind the wheels: means a nation will suffer, God children pray for justice and for peace. They wealth kept on growing from the backs of slaves That is why we grieve? Each and every day An apple tree without fruits, Cows without milk, chicken without eggs A well without water, those little things we took for granted, is like a nation without Patience, kindness and loyalty **Proverbs 28:11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes, But the poor who has understanding searches him out;** !

Brilliant and insightful penning. As a Canadian I look on in absolute dismay, with fear and sadness at the divisiveness of his antics. Warm hugs and prayers for hope and peace, Maureen

Who do the poor search out? I am sure they don't search out the rich. Enjoyed reading your work. Do you think that maybe Trump uses his texts and tweets and misguided statements to get attention or does mean what he says? Sara

Thank you so much for reading my thoughts if you truly think about all of this.. It is not Trump Faults the People put that man there.. He could not have done this alone... so let some of blame goes toward the people..
