D.W. Rodgers Poet Blitz

Blitz of Donald

Dark clouds gathering
Dark is the blitz
Blitz with Donald or
Blitz alone 
Alone in the dark
Alone without hope
Hope springs eternal
Hopelessly calling
Calling Gods forsaken
Calling to the void 
Void the cheque
Avoid the next
Next four years
Next turn right 
Right now it’s scary
Right is might
Might make four years
Might not
Not what I’d expected
Not sure what to say 
Say can you see
Say it by tweet
Tweet to the world
Tweetle de dum
Dum dum dum
Dumb’s the new black
Black Friday today 
Black Saturday tomorrow
Tomorrow we’ll see what
Tomorrow will bring
Bring not your poor
Bring on the Wall
Wall up the South
Wall up your mind
Mind not your manners
Mind over matter
Matters no to me
Material is my world
World’s my oyster
World’s getting warm
Warm warning’s out
Warm family ties
Ties together family
Ties of independence
Independence Kansas
Independence Declaration
Declaration to the people
Declaration Donald
Donald’s Great America
Donald to bless
Bless
America
