Ignore your voice,
put your vote aside,

Dance around the facts with
twisted bitter words
It’s your only form of communication.
An understanding was not lost
it was never found

Your presidency is a dump
based on hatred,
lies,
ignorance,
and slick sound bites.
Your act is worse
than buffoonish.
It’s poison,
killing off our dreams

as you subvert everything
we believe in.

Turning back the clock again

thought long since resolved.
Any sense of goodwill

has dissolved into
ugly,
intolerant rage.
Democracy is a blood sport again.

A quick trigger policy
by social media
with no rhyme or reason.
Something is broken inside of us.
It’s all going to fade.
In lies we trust.
We can’t close our eyes
and wish it away.
We can’t close our minds
and dream it away.

Wasting away.
Living off fumes
from a past that daily
is losing all meaning.
Rude clowns and buffoons
running the circus.
Everything is a joke,
but no one in Washington
or around the country
feels like laughing.
We all sadly know
the joke is on us.

Lost in a nightmare
we can't awake from
as a vicious TV president rages

Making real threats via Twitter.
War crimes.
Recklessly settling scores
with no plan
in his addled mind.
