Citizen Trump's Disgrace
I am not paralyzed by rampant consternation
We knew the character and behavior
Of Donald J. Trump when we elected him
To be the forty-fifth president of our nation.
What is the point of feigning surprise --
Or expecting the leopard to change its spots?
During the entire 2020 presidential campaign
The facts stood grimly before our watchful eyes.
Our country is dealing with a difficult crisis, while
Obstinacy and obstruction reigns in the Oval Office.
But, everyone knows the final outcome is clear
The Delawarean won the presidency by a country mile.
Despite all the posturing, rhetoric, and pretense
With sycophantic antics from the administration,
On January 20, 2021, at the noonday inauguration
Joseph R. Biden will be our forty-sixth president.
Unfortunately for him, Citizen Trump’s disgrace
[Being turned out in utter humiliation]
Will be finding himself without a positive legacy
While lurching about trying to save face.
