POETRY: Unhealthy Human Screams, Reptile Shadows, And Sunbathing in Emotionless Calm

I was the nerdy kid who used to stand up, cross my heart, and cry when TV was shutting off for the night, the Pledge of Allegiance was said, the Star Spangled Banner played. I still cross my heart and cry when I hear the Star Spangled Banner; yes, I love my country that much.

So, when hate based on fear a person bent into his politics and then told everyone he was running for the most powerful office in the world for one reason, that reason being that he is the ONLY PERSON who can conquer that fear, I felt my obligation finger-snapping my mind. This is the result.

Don’t mind the burnt circus smell;
Just swirl the political garbage with a jiggle of the handle.

Ignore the paper-mache media;
Soaked in wine and coffee; investigative
Skills won’t be found with a hammer and chisel.
Recork the bottles; empty the grounds— search the dregs.

Tossed behind the Dempster Dumpster are
One unqualified, soulless man’s ignorance of mendacity
And his treasonous invitations for
Enemies to commit cyber espionage.

Don’t mind the burnt circus smell;
Just swirl the political garbage with a jiggle of the handle.

Spit shining his hooked cross with
Unhealthy human screams that can’t hear
Unjust hyperbole and hate-filled rhetoric,
He dominates the chaos of those gasping for oxygen.

Corduroy trousers, reptile shadows,
and those sunbathing in emotionless calm,
He slides his demagogue ass across my page
Calling sciences he cannot comprehend fallacies and hoaxes.

Don’t fall under the cyber propaganda
While the fear monger has them dancing like
Marionettes to their worst fears and unthinking
Followers readily believe only he can fix what he calls broken.

Don’t mind the burnt circus smell;
Just swirl the political garbage with a jiggle of the handle.
