Upstart Creator

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

You may not be the Godhead, but you might

Be sensible, some Little Red Hen.  Make

Your world a better place for some despite

Cupidity and selfishness that shake

The earth, not be another tRUMP and Co.

The MAGAs are determined to excise

All decencies and empathies that grow

In government, preferring to despise

The needy and the coloreds with dispraise

And praise the greed of billionaires like tRUMP,

That tRUMP who is the guy they shove to raise

To godlike heights.  They worship that warped lump.

  The next thing that we know, they’d deify

    Him past his second term, brute, vile and sly.
