Notes About The Poem

Charles 'Hank' Bukowski wrote frequently about the social/political climes of his day. He always

inspires me to think, to write, to rage!! 

Hank's World

A buffoon for a leader
Gauche, socially inept
Waves his arms around trying to find words
In his limited vocabulary

A little yellow man waits, with a war head,
To blow the west coast into the sea

The Russian bear awakes from a
decades long sleep
Sniffs around the buffoon and his
weak spots
Where to strike first?

Muslim street gangs live to destroy the fat, over-indulgent, rich country and the infidels

A country of immigrants lock its doors
Go from house to house, plucking out the illegals, leaving families decimated
Has Hitler finally reincarnated?

Meanwhile the planet warms so that one can hardly recognize it

Dear Hank, 
Nothing new here
