Simulacrum

Squinting towards the lens, pressed fingers poised Patter of shutters point to ample publication Greater than any citizens' optimised hopes Helicopter swept, high stake hustling self opinion Gratuitous frog mouth catches fools, sticky tongue lashings Golf club strolling, silver spoon holding, crumbs for cleaners Pussy grabber dresses in pro life garb for target demographic Speaks the language of fanaticism, fist in scripture Heavy repertoire laced in hate. Dire threat leant on as a pillar Podium fronted pompous smoothes fear with one liners Gambling with virus spits in the face of reckless ruler Trillion dollar trade removed, blackjack tapped table bust Mogul makes workers homeless amidst bankruptcy claims Grotesque filing fails retains dozens of glinting casinos Gall lets leader make meme of nuclear dictator Having little remaining reign tenure, pocket profane folds 12th July 2020
