Kanye Trump… a poem

Skimming through daily papers, to choose

a topic I might analyze,

most often I’m inspired by misuse

of the government and their lies.

This behavior, we’ve come to excuse,

through repetition it’s normalized.

As such, bigotry has been diffused,

excessive pigment plainly despised.

Historic atrocities disabused,

contemptible certainties revised,

a publicity whore interviewed—

“Slavery was a choice.”— he surmised.

Like his mentor, he is not confused,

for notice he would trivialize

Hitler’s extermination of Jews,

as evangelicals moralize

Trump’s treason, his affairs, both “fake news.”

Our Constitution’s idealized

by the NRA, who most abuse,

our rights to a world that’s civilized.

Regarding Trump, the world is bemused

he has kept his base, who fantasize

he’s in charge… Vlad Putin is amused,

all his plans have materialized.
