Letter to a Young Trumpian


by DJT

 

 

I have no taste for pompousness unless gilded and eponymous

for that my taste is bottomless (I also favor toplessness)

My point is: never be monogamous, impartial or anonymous

Maximizing all attention guarantees your own ascension

always being noticed is the path to being POTUS.


But even if metastasized one’s prominence can amortize

til no more magic carpet ride, so keep on pushing

til resistance gives a boost to your existence.

Better wrong than boring.  Hell is other people snoring

as you dare to not apologize.


In place of acquiescence recreate your adolescence

in the embryo of morning as the dulcet song of scorning

mingles with the smell of day-old fries.


Rid yourself of satisfaction, disputate the next transaction.

Churning, baby, churning: that’s my kind of lifelong learning

Think of all a rube will swallow as he paddles in the shallows

in distracted interaction with the memes he doesn't mind.

Voting tallies, cheering rallies, riot as my grand finale--oops!  All out of time.

 

a last, lonely soliloquy:

They should cherish and enshrine me, but they treat me so unkindly

Only serving to remind me that I’ve lived my life divinely

A divinity unteachable and, it turns out, unimpeachable

They say it’s not repeatable

perhaps not even treatable.

I read this twice to comprehend a little. Is this poem criticizing Donald Trump as a sanctimonious leader of some sort?
