It Would Be One Thing
If you voted for the guy
Based on his media persona
The illusional facade of
Decade delusions worth
Of a successful billionaire
Filmed in calculated control
As some grandiose poo-bah
Known for saying “Your Fired”
With casual caustic charisma
Pretending to be in charge
So much so that it went to his head
Through the mystical magic
Of mini media (TV) manipulation
When in all relative reality
He just really wanted to be liked
Apparently, that was not enough
Forgetting who he wanted to be
Liked by the smart, rich, and famous
Settling for the under-educated
Poor, anonymous, and infamous
Who could be led by the pointing
Sticky finger of blame and victimhood
Scapegoating anything it would land on
Immigrants, women, criminals
Foreigners, race, and religions
Anything but personal responsibility
However
More failed businesses than can be counted
Tax and insurance fraud
Charity fraud (let me repeat that) CHARITY FRAUD
Sexual assault allegations and payouts
Two impeachments
Tax cuts for the already wealthy
Trashing Veterans and their families
91 criminal charges in 4 Indictments
Federal election (4) and classified documents (40)
New York State falsifying business records (34)
Georgia election interference (13) including…..
Racketeering, soliciting a public officer, and false statements
Where there is smoke, there is usually fire
And yet, according to public opinion polls
He is in the lead for the Republican nomination for president
Can someone please get the Emperor new clothes
Where are the Holy Fools * to reveal the truth
Of this sad and pathetic man grasping for power
When everyone knows deep down…….
He most wants to be loved
It would be the one thing
To stop this charade and perpetual distraction
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
