USA 2016-2020: The ‘psychosis’ of apotheosis

Originally written during the Trump presidency

 

Acquiesced to the Upper Classes
propagandized, maligned Masses
now fawningly fall for Fascism
turn foot soldiers for Barbarism

Incited by The Leader’s rants
join jumbling frantic forces
while shrewd sycophant fancy-pants
play on God-owned golf courses

Still some seem surprised, haplessly forlorn
Had we not seen enough be to forewarned?

 

Still bumbling benighted

Prior to restored eyesight
was bumbling benighted
had felt anxious & contrite
with outlook unsighted

I just couldn’t envision
the light beyond cataract
before the incision
had seemed remotely abstract

Since as if by Kliegs enhanced my eyesight
would that next my soul shall fill with insight!
