Is He Going To Pardon A Turkey?

Is He Going To Pardon A Turkey?

A Poem by Evyn Rubin
"

a topical one for this time of year

"

Is he going to pardon a turkey?

he may be too mean to pardon a turkey

he may be too rude to cover a nude

too lacking in veracity for sincerity to have capacity

too motivated by personal greed to avoid the self-profiting deed

too absorbed by the needs of brand for principles to root and stand

too shallow to assess value

too engaged with his own steeple to respect the space of women people

too belligerent to be diplomatic

too conditioned by lavish excess to empathize with people in distress

too apricot in his ambiance the palette of the rainbow to ensconce.
