When Will This Madness End For Poem a Thon 2018

2007 How Much I Despise You

2007 How Much I Despise You

2017 How Much I despise You
Following 2016 the second worst year ever
Will 2018 be any better ?	

And what we have suffered
The darkness settles on the land 
Like a curse on the land 

As our mad demented senile dotard king wannabe 
Struts about the worlds stage 
Ushering Americas  inevitable decline

 
April 2, Has America Gone Mad?

America’s foes and friends wonder
Has America gone mad 
Turing over ultimate power to this man
A con man narcistic criminal

Self proclaimed smartest man in the room
In reality a clueless reality TV hustler
Whose sell by date has expired
As he tries to make America great again
For white Christian men
 
April 2 American Life and Death

As American struggles 
To cope with the ever declining standard of living

The 1 percent loved the stock market
Love the dismantling of  the regulatory state
The corporate tax cuts 

and the coming plunder of the land 
Can Disney Yellowstone be the future?
As America declines
Back to the future

 
April 2 Heading Back to the Past 

While the rest of the world 
Embraces the energy of the future 
Our great denier of the truth
Wants to boldly take America back 

To the 19th century era of oil, and coal
Yet perhaps it does not matter in the end
As long as we have one another
We will overcome 
The darkness will flee the land
 
April 2 When Will this Darkness End

As the darkness settles down on the land
All are consumed with evil
Foul deeds and endless darkness 
I wonder if it will ever go away 

Yes I wonder if our great nightmare will ever end 
Are we doomed to live out the decline of America?
This is what I pray for 2018
The end of the darkness 
that consumes our land
