Notes About The Poem

The time of year has come to consider the dead and how we interact with them. Hard to know who is deeply rooted in the underworld, who is with the living, and who is somewhere in between.   

The dead live this October

We live till death trips our off switch
In Trump’s case it’s just a small glitch
Don’s life vindictive
Has more hate to give 
So hold his obit while he’ll b.itch

Tania, I'm with you on that. They both need a one-way ticket. It's all rather strange to see billionaires with so much influence. It's seems to me they are becoming our modern times feudal lords. Sad to see the flow of wealth into fewer and fewer hands. It's gradual, but it's happening. Smiles!!

Please tell me he has an 'off' switch and where to find it. Eaten up with hatred, he's more like a bad April Fool's Day joke than a Halloween monster. hmmm on second thought, perhaps not.

Lin, sorry there seems not to be one. I've often thought he should receive intensive therapy for his personality disorder, but it seems too late for that. Alas, he will be miserable until the end and attempt to make us all miserable as well. He can accumulate a lot of money, but there are no throne rooms or banks in heaven or hell. Smiles!!!

Wait you mean I can look forward to November? LOL and did you see who won the Nobel Genocide Prize? Might as well have been him, just as bad LOL. Loved the poem.

Arthur, the word is that Maria Corina Machado said some kind things about D.T. in an effort to gain support. With him, flattery means a lot. Amazing how his ego distorts actions by those who don't entirely stand on their principles. That is a rare quality...to be able to do that and also maintain popular support. Some people seem to be able to. Smiles!!

Re: T-Rump ending the war. I'd like to give credit where credit is due, yet we still have phases to go thru. Another crime boss who deserved the Noble Peace Prize-Al Capone! Al created soup kitchens in Chicago. Lol! Bitchen, hats off to you! I'm smiling~

Anaya, yes it's a good thing the fighting stopped. D.T. knows there's a lot of money to be made in that part of the world, and he applied pressure on Netanyahu to stop the fighting. Something Biden should have done, but was afraid to do. It will be some time before we know how this all plays out, but stopping the killing is a good first step. Of course, there's no stopping D.T. from acting like a crime boss here (as you point out with some humor). Smiles!!
