Who Gave the Order

Who gave the order?
What hellish scene (pre-packaged for a mime)
watched my startled eyes?

An old man or a young demon
postures in a pother of lies,
a high priest of low ideas.

I ponder, I shake a thousand
chin-wagging times.
I must know
what killer-clown gave the order
for us to obey and nod,

and did they expect instead
this endless laughter and derision
not the devilish division
they had so long planed for?

L Milton Hankins September 5, 2022 at 8:47 PM President Biden gave one of the most important speeches of this decade in Philly, Eric. The entire country should have heard it and marveled at the differences between his presidency and the delusional, narcissistic, liar, conman Trump's! Biden is a true patriot; Trump is a traitor.
