Nancy Kaufman Poet Political Verse

The hot air balloon

In this open season of divisiveness and hate,
our President is being diminished like fish bait.
People forgetting his accomplishments and character traits.
They lack empathy for what's been on his plate,
show loyalty to the one facing a criminal fate,
that one who is afraid to debate: the liar,
the racist, the cheater, the snake.
The hot air balloon they elevate.

Martin Challender February 16, 2024 at 2:23 AM Well written with great sentiment. I always follow the news from the US and elsewhere. At the moment though, the news is tough to watch. Here's hoping for better times, for the US, here in the UK and the world. Best wishes.

Nancy Kaufman February 9, 2024 at 6:25 AM Hi Paul, It made me sick to my stomach to see what the press did to President Biden and that special council yesterday. Ugh..we are in trouble in the US
