after a campaign of
unprecedented fury––
hatred––anguish––subcutaneous
rage
& the shattering of
trust
the country has
polarized beyond recognition
& is ready
to riot
amerika has never elected a
cartoon-messiah-dictator
before
this über-mensch regards
Him Self as
the alpha & the
omega––
an over-man who
has nothing to
learn
because he is fully
informed by his
ego
a personality
who feeds on the lime
light of publicity
yet fears
the First Amendment
&
the Press
a president isn’t supposed
to be
above the law…
but what if this man
is?
who can enforce
the laws when
even the president
doesn’t take them
seriously?
will American forces
kill Americans
at His
command?
will allies switch
tracks?
who wants to
follow a leader
who exiles truth
to an irrelevant
shadow beneath
Him Self?
the rebels who
voted him in
wanted a
revolution––
the excitement of
leveling a government
that they grumbled
about
but did not
serve––
they wanted to feel
change––
to toss out a
crusty old, dysfunctional
plutocratic-democracy
for a bright, new &
improved
entertaining autocracy
a logical end-point
for the Founder’s
experiment.
rebel’s remorse
is the pining/wishing/ praying
for the life
they wish they
had
if they incinerate
the government to the
ground––
& stamp out every
flickering American ideal––
what is there to be
lost
but the well-being
& future
of the human
world?
