Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

The Orange Man

I had to stop watching the news
The orange man's wrecking my brain,
His lies are stuck on repeat
Ad nauseam, again and again.

Hubris beyond capability
A loathing for others success,
People are dying in droves
"I'm a genius" he brags none the less.

When the orange man got voted in
Who knew he lived for applause,
His only interest himself
Self promotion his only true cause.

Sowing chaos, division and hate
The orange man wades through the mire,
Who drowns, well he doesn't care
He's obsessed with selfish desires.

Jenna Logan September 22, 2020 at 9:00 AM I'm in total agreement with each of your spot on verses, Gary. I cannot comprehend why so many support him when it's so evident that he cares only about winning re-election. Satan has blinded their eyes and closed their ears to his many faults. I hope this places in the contest. It should be read by many. Gary Smith September 22, 2020 at 9:04 AM Thank you Jenna.
