Notes About The Poem

Some people harbor extreme hatred for others and need to prove their superiority. Deep-seated reasons exist for this aberration.

Igor needs a bigger lab XIII

Why promote wrecking-ball malice
Behind the wall of a palace?
This callous man sick
Acts like a big dick
To cover up his small phallus

Thanks Arthur. There's no telling how bad this is going to get. Seems like there will be opportunity to write many more, unfortunately.

Eminence front falls short as his mental acumen deteriorates. Hatred should never be promoted. Freudian explanation, could be he hates his father who berated him ( make money) or else. His brother drank himself to death, airplane piolet ( a glorified truck driver) dad called him a loser. His niece explained in her books "Who Could Ever Love You" Oh my! Good to see you, DB ~

Anaya, I think your diagnosis fits the bill. Whatever ruined DT internally likely started when he was young. Unfortunately, he's decided to be the product of that childhood rather than let real love, empathy, and humility enter his heart. Therefore, I expect he is really miserable and always will be. He's developed into quite the psychopath. This will continue until someone has the courage to point out the emperor has no clothes. That will be a very interesting moment if we get to see it. I'm expecting it at the end of next year and perhaps sooner if we're lucky.

Duke, my friend, your limerick poem criticizes powerful people who exploit their influence to damage and manipulate, contrasting their confidence with their anxieties. Malice, arrogance, and vulnerability are explored behind a strong front. A strong figure (called "this heartless guy") destroys with a "wrecking ball" while disguising his flaws and fears with a "small phallus." The poem suggests that a profound inferiority complex may cause such harmful behavior. Colloquial and direct language ("large dick," "little phallus") conveys disgust and emphasizes the gap between appearance and reality. Strong, violent imagery like "wrecking-ball malice" emphasizes the subject's harmful deeds.

Hi SP, thanks for comment. Yes, what we have is very bad. The more I see, the more disgusted I get. The founding fathers would be horrified to see where we have come. It feels like a return to feudal society. More evil to come.

Jan, we are in trouble indeed. He's got no understanding of root cause analysis or the long-term implications of continuing our use of fossil fuels. Stupidity and selfishness all work in his favor. Thinking and empathy work against him. No wonder he wants to gut education and independent media. He's one dangerous, sick, monster. To be kind, we could allow him to have a gold toilet in his cell.

Thanks Anne-Lise. He definitely has a severe personality disorder. He's missing some basic qualities that we consider "normal." Unfortunately, he seems to be able to tap into anger and fervor that some people have. That support has allowed him to continue playing the intimidation game for now. We'll see how bad this becomes soon.

That red tie should be the way he goes... for his ties with the Reds. Maybe it'll get caught in the chain of the wrecking ball. He surely has wrecked America.

Lin I agree completely. Let's hope he gets caught by his own designs. So far, he's been able to get away scot free. Perhaps his luck will change in the next few months. However, I think we should prepare for having him wreck a lot more. He's a master at dictatorship 101. I have to ask what kind of a person takes pleasure in making needless difficulty for others and removing hope for the future?

A naughty one from you Duke.. Little man or little dick syndrome does seem to create megalomaniacs, doesn't it.. I find it amusing at the moment that he condemns Putin attacking Ukraine, but doesnt really condemn Netanyahu killing innocent children in Gaza... I do know the reason why though... Another great limerick.

SO, thanks for the complement. He's all about being the center of attention and beating down others. Some kind of serious mental disorder in play for this kind of character. However, he utilizes great skill monopolizing the news with something strange every day. It's a proven strategy in the dictator's tool box. We're in serious trouble here.

IE, thanks for your patience....I've been pretty busy. Igor is the name of the lab technician in the "Young Frankenstein" comedy film. It's a common name used for the weird lab assistant to a mad scientist. Doing well and sending you smiles of course!!
