the president hurls insults
at his everyone
enemies
the father humiliates his son––
the daughter screams at her
mom
the parents fight
& start edging towards
divorce… or
worse
we finally have a gold-plated
exemplar
of our lowest
selves––
now we can see how to
say whatever we want
whenever we want––
now we know how to
do whatever we want
whenever we want
fuzzy civility &
courtesy be
damned––
we’re damn
mad
politically correct
means impenetrable concrete
walls
& a nation of immigrants
turned against
immigrants
maybe we can love
our neighbors if
they’re just like us
& not poor
we need guns & gates &
armies to protect
our treasures
& our selves––
only the rich
can be trusted
with money
the poor are the needy
who want what’s
mine
i can spray my hate
where ever i
want
because I’m
#1 & I come
first
i want to play golf
every day just like the
president––
& own everything
as far as i
can see––
i want money &
power––
all of it––
i want never to
be wrong––
& to never need to
be right
only the stupid pay
taxes––
why give when you're
smart enough
to take?
