'The Last Real President'

'The Last Real President'

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Truth!

"


"I'm just stopping by to give you this,


In Presidential baseball, you're a swing and a miss,



Man, are the people who love you in for a rude


awakening when the enormity of your crude



stupidity slams home, so, enjoy it while it lasts,


this pied piper popularity, 'cause it'll fade so fast!



I'm here to tell you you're a joke in a wrinkled suit,


the very definition of inept--the rotting root



cause of this divide, the left verses the right


You're a burned-out streetlight in the dark of the 


night



You're the Piper Of The Damned, leading us all to 


ruin,


with your juvenile temper and tweets--you don't 


know what you're doin'!"

Looking from this side of the pond, it sometimes seems that it is not that your President has simply and cynically tapped into the emotions and thoughts of the masses for his own ends, but that somewhere lurking in the dark recesses of his mind, is a vague understanding that things have to change. That the balance needs to shift in favour of the less fortunate, those he perceives as left behind; but he doesn't quite know how to best effect that change.

The land of the free has served him and his kith and kin well; and maybe, just maybe,he is trying to return the favour. I do wish he would stop his random tweeting though; it's a quite peculiar way for the leader of the free world to behave; though doubtless he sees it as the best way to get his voice heard.

Not defending by the way, simply observing. :))

Thanks, Beccy--but I don't give him that much credit, that lurking somewhere in his brain is the tho.. read more
