FOX NEWS and DONALD TRUMP - PERSONALITY OVER PRINCIPLE and MONEY OVER DEMOCRACY
An ACROSTIC POEM.
Frequently it’s only propaganda, Goebbels, PRAVDA,
Only seldom will the truth be uttered,
Xenophobia is but one tool used often, America First.
Nonsense spews, concerns of feminine candy, cartoon characters,
Each show is manipulation and deceit, crafted with no remorse, having shame is not profitable after all,
Wokeness is now hammered, must designate the enemy, “how much is my paycheck for this lie,”
Suckers are born every minute yet most suckers are old white people, the audience.
Driven by greed, but the seven deadly sins don’t stop there,
Owning the libs, for this he is admired, his thumb in America’s collective eye,
Not concerned of laws, ethics or even rules of golf,
Always suing, always on the attack, a barking mutt behind the wizard’s curtain,
Legal problems mount, yet some people like an outlaw, Pretty Boy Floyd had his following,
Did America deserve this, his karma oozes over us still.
Tyranny, traitorous, tawdry, tin badge leader, poor approvals always, yet he still captains the ship,
Republican Party is now him, so many flaws, so little integrity, a skeleton, yet still breaths with life,
Until that day when another election bombs, they will stick to his sickness, emulate his worst features,
Money is the problem of course, politics attracts the worst hustlers and grifters now,
Perhaps he will be indicted in time, a lifetime crime spree interrupted, yet he has his baseness living on through his base.
People who are in cults act irrationally, an understatement, and when one’s family members are sucked in, some anger at the leader is warranted,
Each one of us in a democracy can choose our cult leader if we so choose, but it’s a large gamble,
Really, it’s bizarre to surrender free American choice to some autocrat’s whims,
Someday, they will be sorry, we all think, but we might not be around to see it,
On this day I only wish for a cloud of rationality to cover the country’s pathology,
Not one of us wishes to be insane, do we,
Another day on Twitter, now a sewer with sharks and crocodiles, and rationality bypasses so many,
Indifference is not a choice, too many things are on the line, we must wrestle our democracy back,
Too many are hoodwinked, too many are ignorant, too many addicted to hatred,
Yes we can, Obama said, this man who triggered so many, brought out so much fear, and hatred.
On this day, like every other day, I see the authoritarian follower psyche at work, it’s horrifying to notice,
Very much like watching a train wreck, one is powerless to break through to them, they are another species,
End times are on some of their minds, and they are willing to hasten the event,
Religious zealotry is a problem once again, spirituality has nothing to do with it however, only power and control are applicable.
People do not value virtue anymore, virtue isn’t easy, that is why, materialism hammers us,
Right now there is only the concern for “winning” at all costs, folks fearful of change, terrified in fact,
Inside us all there is a heart, yet to most it’s just a muscle which pumps,
Nobody should be saddled with only selfishness, greed and cruelty, yet they wish for this, it makes no sense,
Cult members assume all the rest of us have our own cult leaders, but only theirs is the true divine,
Insanity does not lead to principles, as principles demand order, not dysfunction,
Perhaps the mass psychosis will lift, or maybe it will worsen, as it’s a centrifuge of fear,
Lives are being lost, children’s real futures are threatened by people of no principles,
Each one of us can only show our integrity by our living and be willing to stand up to bullies of vice.
Money really is our kryptonite, follow the money is always the line of thinking, it’s killing us,
Over and over we see the destructive force of corruption above on our lives, most people have their price after all,
None of us have hope that greed will not ultimately destroy us, it’s the pandemic from the start of “civilization,”
Everyone who celebrates another’s greed, really is lost at sea,
You must have the necessities of life, but this is a slap in the face of too many, thinking we’re better than this.
Outside of ourselves, this is where some always choose to live, the horizontal line,
Virtue does not grow on trees, living with others with understanding and tolerance, still only a dream,
Even if we try to show compassion, empathy, it’s met with disgust, you’re only showing weakness,
Red hats, idolatry flags all awave, boat parades, big trucks, can it not be now put to rest?
Deep inside the American dream is not the material things but democracy,
Everyone knows it’s been our foundation, imperfect from the start, yet it’s the rock on which we stand,
Many now somehow think it is outdated, it gets in the way of profit, and the fluctuations of power give them all a headache,
Only people like them are to share in the fruits from the tree, they are fearful of equality, makes them terrified,
Constitution must go too, we know how they think, how they act,
Really, it’s only base selfishness, a very inferior emotion which drives their wagon,
America has been striving for true democracy according to scholars for 226 years with George Washington’s farewell address,
Can we continue the experiment please,
You must know the alternative will be disaster, in the despotic hands of some, there will be quick decline, we don’t have to give it a try.
