Poem
The Pied Piper from New York City – Part Two This is quite despicable and very inappropriate for someone holding the “Highest Office in Our Land.” The Pied Piper hides his treachery by Wrapping himself in the glory of the “Stars and Stripes.” Talk about True shame! He should look in the mirror! The “Forgotten Man” who represents those who fell prey to the inflated Promises and mindless propaganda of The Pied Piper, should not at all Be surprised later when they suddenly discover—they’ve been “had,” That is, Sadly, forgotten by their Pied Piper, Replete with his famous Trademark Attributes: Thin-skin, Clay-feet, Twitter-thumbs and A shrill-accusatory voice. The Pied Piper, as new-style politician, is also mired in some other key controversies with his family that are worth mentioning. Since coming to Washington, DC and ascending to the White House on January 20, 2017: The Pied Piper and his family have viewed the nation’s capital and the people’s house as, “Luscious Juicy Plums—Ripe for the Picking!” And, the Pied Piper’s various plans and actions since his ascension to the presidency are certainly not done necessarily in favor of the American people—if at all! Characteristically, he enjoys playing to people’s “Fears,” rather than taking the higher road that any good leader would do, by appealing to the “Better Angels of Their Nature.” For sure, an Abraham Lincoln, he’s not, nor shall he ever be! Indeed, the Piped Piper has done some very naughty things, among others, already to his credit and ignominy: His poorly-conceived and implemented Muslim travel ban. Playing “Chicken” with the U.S. Congress on the state and quality of American healthcare. Using the White House as his own personal ATM machine. Becoming the “Patron Saint of Nepotism” with the inclusion of select family members on his staff. (What’s wrong with a little nepotism, eh?) Engulfed in multiple business conflicts of interest, both foreign and domestic. Revelations of potential collusion with Russia and Russian surrogates to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. Blatant violations of the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. And he’s just now quashed executive branch protection of the DACA Dreamer Immigrant Program. All these very naughty things are: tragic, thoughtless, sad, stupid, and grossly reprehensible! With all this, I now rest my case! Yet, I would like to encourage everyone to reflect for a critical moment on “The Fragile Nature of Democracy.” “Democracy,” itself, has been viewed and likened to: “That Most Precious Fabergé Egg.” We all must devoutly cherish this most precious Fabergé Egg called “Democracy.” And protect it always from the unscrupulous actions of the Pied Pipers of the World! For us to do otherwise—would be unforgivable! Need I say more? Gary Bateman, Copyright © All Rights Reserved September 7, 2017 (Political Verse)
