Presidential Inauguration 2017 - Poetic Screed - Part2
diametrically opposing forces miscarriage
and abort, cancel and retry to upend Vanity Fair
where trump defiantly makes an en rode
gauging Bernie sanders troopers as “enemy” phalanx
pitting American fighters, who obediently unload
lead unleashing harsh supreme weapons with soldiers
donned in flak jacketed mode
* * * * * * * * * * * *
heavily donned in trappings of warfare gear
plus armed to the teeth), this haint no rumor i hear
meted measure marshaled, whence King Trump Lear
make America great again pogrom
comes to life after flickr of dawn silhouettes mere
minutes USA ship of state horizontally bobs and weaves near
awakening village people amidst misty sea ap pear
blinded by shining scimitar reflection
* * * * * * * * * * * *
along creeks edge spurs one o pond deer
to stand stock still while rustle slingshot braced
for martial law, nor blood will he spear
as vocal demonstrators protest tear
against stony faced bridging
gaited donnybrook game NOT oh veer
no matter devilishly exuberant,
fervently ferocious bear breathes
hatred inciting loftily during tenure
per un four chin net year.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
a deplorable basket Case gussied up
evoking a charade,
façade, and instagram faux officer on warpath against the frayed
Citizenry comprise United States of amerika, which grade
* * * * * * * * * * * *
caparisoned chief Commander looses fury of tyranny laid
upon righteous leftists accuses collusion with milch maid
ghost of Rasputin, where sirens
of air raids wail in sync payed
with whine of droning planes drowning sashayed.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
legitimate insurrection, where civilians risk
life and limb in the name of inalienable rights, where obelisk
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
exemplifies constitutional directory - enumerates disc
course disallowing annulment,
* * * * * * * * * * * *
per forefathers/mothers freedom gave present generation heft,
imbuing justice and keeping
a lid against kleptocracy, no matter cherished capitalistic
covenants teetering on the brink after electric body frisk
being swept into dustbin of history.
