I trumpet the withdrawal
of democratic contender from out the presidential race.

courtesy rumor monger premieres
showcasing emphatic groundswell
against feeble minded incumbent.

Extraordinary turn of current events

"5" 

benevolence and favour
seemed to be absent
in the world 

grace, a name 
whispered before 
a meal shared

5 fingers 
on each hand
steeples, hiding people

signs

in the footprints
the number of...

To lead them into his evil ways he was hoping.

Square one,
Here I find myself again.
Around the board,
Pass go
And do not collect 200.
Get over yourself,
Pick your head up
So you can look up and see...
See all the damage you're doing.
Shamelessly,
Selfishly,
Causing catastrophes in your wake,
Collateral damage,
Chaos in...

Have the sun hug you
Feed your soul
The only way to go
Bum around on the

Draw that line
through the sand
Building monuments 
Wear your cool
sunglasses 
Show a bit of...
