Earth Needs a Victory
Yes, President Trump,
"Our Country needs a victory!"
On this,
we are all multi-party agreed.
Some of us recognize
the only direct route to this national success,
economic and political and social and cultural,
is united in our stated urgency,
"Our Earth needs a health victory!"
Others don't.
And you would distract us
with your confused world view,
in which the boundary between your own ego
and our shared national
and planetary ecosystems
are too pathologically fuzzy
to meet even the minimal standards
of Reality TV.
Wiser leaders
have learned to be silent
and go on quiet retreat
when such serious personality disorders
rear their unfortunate
undemocratic capitalistic
straight white patriarchal
supremacist heads
With understated consciousness
and unappreciated absence
of Earth healing victory,
for it is only Earth Herself
who might reductively exclaim
"L'etat, c'est moi!"
