Robes A'Flowing

Has your doctor ever treated you
When wearing robes a’flowing,
Gently laying hands while all around
There’s light that’s brightly glowing?

That depiction sounds more biblical
Than hospital-type care.
To post a picture of himself,
Like that, just one would dare.

Now I am not a Christian, but
That image does offend.
How can true believers ever
Such idolatry defend?

But chalk it up to just another
Way to lose more hope,
Right alongside the insulting,
Made in public, of the Pope.

The bar can’t drop much lower
As the world can only mock
Words and actions of one so deranged
We can’t absorb the shock.

Trump’s stance and actions are righteous. We are fortunate he has the guts to stand his ground against the stupid tide.

I thought we voted for a man, not a miracle-worker.

I hope Trump lives long in good health He will be so missed when he’s gone. There was never anyone like him, and there’ll never be another.

Brilliantly penned Ilene, He really has gone a step too far, no wonder he had the offensive image removed - but that was no doctor - what does he think he can do - heal the world. Trump needs locking up in a lunatic asylum. hugs jan x
