Damocles Sword Renamed Donald Trump Dagger O' Type
Emotional guillotine clefts
irredeemable psychological umbilical accord
witnessing heart breaking,
woe-begotten inhumane rip cord
gut wrenching shuffle board
(indiscriminately sporting)
most punishing option explored
involving upwards of 2,000
immigrant children forced to ford
predatory invested foreign territory
south of Rio Grande potentially gored
if not raped, enslaved, via gang lion, viz
nefarious smoking bandits gloating
with anticipatory glee hoard
ding young boys and girls
sacrificial hideous torture
mocking land of free and home
of bravely ejected innocent
nubile terrorized angels,
where horrific, pedafilic traumatic plight
unwelcomely visited upon
naively overly trusting
precocious youngsters ignored
fiendishly, and diabolically,
where kids injured
malevolently, punitively,
and violently inured
at bloody hands of many
self proclaimed war lord,
which hypothetically,
presumably blithely of once safely
(albeit tenuously) moored
then cruelly wrenched where mill let tarry
uber brutes ill league hull
tender babes asper incident
uprooting tooth and nail on floss
inconsolable sorrow upon fractured families
(live re: worse, now imagine
if you will gasoline poured
over naked peach fuzz flesh
aye envision engulfed forked sinister flames
purposelessly immolated how screams
dark shadows within outer limits
of AmeriKa twilight zone roared
renting asunder travesty
treachery and trinity
in God We Trust smugly trumped toward
page from fascist playbook
"Stasi in Nazi Ward,"
where atrocities censored
like Black Sabbath despite
freedom of speech reprehensible witch
hunt scenarios over span
of six weeks bedlam
decorated epaulette
glorified hoodlums twitch
with numbskulls
while defrauding, deflecting,
and defiling,
defenseless as deer lambs switch
ching other cheek as smug snitch
like scattering rats
Department of Homeland Security officials
administration’s enforce
new “zero tolerance” policy
toward illegal border-crossing,
nonetheless bend rules busily play
extra round of Quidditch)
feigning obliviousness perfect suckling
nursing, and mewing infants
forcibly experienced nirvana unplugged,
where strong arm eminent
marshalled tuckered law tugged
maternal instinct doubling down,
cradling tender infant snugged.
