There Once Was a Man...A Poem by Michael StevensThe inexplicable!There once was a man so egotistical, and his support was completely inexplicable-- that he thought he was qualified for the job of commander of us all--and the delusional mob he had supporting him was totally unbelievable. It seemed he could say anything--it was inconceivable, but they didn't seem to care, they bought his lies, sight unseen--and he was the opposite of wise. They didn't want to hear--they were in some kind of trance. And he claimed to be an expert on money and finance, and, I know it means nothing, but lord, that hair! He just filed for bankruptcy--he wouldn't fight fair. If you weren't cutthroat, and played by the rules, you were a loser, and he belittled and ridiculed his many accusers, like an immature kid in fifth grade would. I've tried to understand, and would if I could. It was dog-eat-dog, and if you took it in the shorts, his demonic face he scowled and did contort. I mean, he looked--if their is such a thing, like the Anti-Christ--of terrifying, he was the king. Had no understanding, or desire to, of the facts. I wonder what took the place of the compassion he lacked? © 2016 Michael Stevens |
