Worst Year Ever

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 As 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 A clueless reality TV hustler Whose sell by date has expired As he tries to make America great again For white Christian men The rest of the country 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? While the rest of the world Embraces the energy of the future And this 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 If we have one another The darkness will come But it will go away someday soon The great American nightmare will be over This is what I pray for 2018 The end of the darkness that consumes our land
