Notes About The Poem
Quite difficult and challenging as a form,but happily managed to convey the bulk of my feelings on the issue.
It Is What It Is - a Pantoum For Donald Trump
It Is What It Is - A Pantoum for Donald Trump
"It is what it is", so sayeth the narcissist,
As the numbers tick up to 250,000.
No need to take the merest action,
Since the majority of those affected are Brown, or even Liberal.
As the numbers tick up to 250,000,
Your indifference shocks the world.
As always, you surrender to what you cannot comprehend,
And dub it wisdom.
Your indifference shocks the world,
Yet still you preach success. It's all about you, science be damned.
Dub it wisdom,
Nevermind the obvious contradictions.
Yet still you preach success. It's all about you, science be damned.
There is no reason in your sphere, only sycophancy
Nevermind the obvious contradictions,
As though your straw were gold.
There is no reason in your sphere, only sycophancy;
What follows this is chaos or salvation,
As though your straw were gold,
You peddle dreams you don't believe in.
What follows is chaos or salvation,
Now we rise to better, sink to lesser selves
You peddle dreams you don't believe in,
In hope we miss the difference.
As now we rise to better, or sink to lesser selves
"It is what it is"; so sayeth the narcissist,
In hope we miss the difference.
