Counterintuitive Poetry Contest

Contest Winner Medal First Place

Anointed by God to rule the land Yet brags where he places his molesting hand Let us love one another, all children of God Yet puts proxies before a firing squad The Lord he praised and the Bible he thumped Yet adherents of the Word neither phased nor stumped Turn to God when forgiveness you seek Yet replies NO, never shall I be unmanly/meek In the eyes of God, we are all alike Yet the misbegotten can all take a hike Obey my command and I’ll offer benevolence As I give E pluribus unum a whole new relevance God hath anointed His faithful avatar for you Yet now go and do as I say, not as I do

Anaya, you point out the extreme irony of the situation we have with clarity. It confirms something with poetic grace that seems unfortunate for all of us...that we have an anti-christ with disciples in charge. Very well done. Smiles!

Evangelists were a crucial element in his election and therefore I used their God as having anointed him our fallen leader, (counterintuitive) an unrepented sinner and his devotees!! Ty, Duke.

Clever, concise, and cutting! None can deny such blatant contradictions. It would be amusing if not so tragic. Your contribution to the contest is not just well-done but supremely important and relevant. My best, Robert

Ty Robert! I surely enjoyed your contribution as well "The Rules of War" is certainly a stunner! May the best man or woman win:):)

Ah yes there is counterintuitiveness in your words Anaya, well someone else’s and no prizes for guessing his name, (out of many, one) has risen to the top again, a real life lava lamp, primed to benevolently erupt, not! great one for contest, best of luck, cheers David

David, Ty! I Love the lava lamp metaphor. He is appointing his cabinet, loyalty first and No credentials needed! A FOX News Host! as our Secretary of Defense! The most powerful military force in the world, just because they agreed on the show that women should no longer serve in combat rolls. RFK JR as our Health expert, will oversee our Dept of Health & Human practices, and urge us away from vaccinations! fluoride causes retardation, stuff like that. This is our new reality. I read your very first poem "Your Country Needs You" satire concerning the irony of the brutal business of war, in skillful rhyme and rhythm. Like you I am not against war or pro war is that counterintuitive? lol. War is the result of the failure of diplomacy!!
