Trumpeter

TRUMPETER
Sandpaper comments,
Intolerant, indignant,
White House jihadist.

UN denier,
Mega-tweeter, Putin’s pal,
Friend of common man?

Hair like swan feathers, 
Lips pursed in a brassy kiss,
No friend of Dizzy.

What Reveille wakes
Billionaire soldiers of change.
Your new president.

Red Omara Date: 2/12/2017 12:12:00 AM Agree completely. Makes me realise there's much to be said for having a wishy washy bandwagoneering PM like we have in Oz.

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 1/20/2017 7:25:00 AM Power to truth w/this rich poem, Phil. Billionaire soldiers of change is a brilliant, perceptive line. Yeah, he promised to get rid of all the old fat cats in Washington, D.C. Just replaced them w/richer, fatter cats. Love this searingly honest poem. Love and peace to you. Login to Reply
