Dismay to Hope (Trump Syndrome)

Dismay to Hope (Trump Syndrome)

A Poem by Arthur Weil

Listen! Harken! All ears!

Twist as best knowledge

Desires flounder before our eyes

Dark negative tear wet my soul

 

Shocking, unexpected

Be it a new dictator

Announcement of demons at our door

Disease or pestilence creep

 

Yet how low, how deplorable, despicable can you be

One man, one country so in danger

His steering, slightest turn of the wheel

Into accident and calamity

 

Yet just accord the was majority one

Euphoric, executive-a new order

Chains broken, change, experiment

Now leader, laws, direction

 

Will the downtrodden middle class prosper?

Build roads, bridges, water system

Election, clean up inner cities

Train and back to a decent school

 

Education free extended

Military overwhelming, tax system simplified

For middle class and, but upper lot get it

 

Stock market up, gyrations

National debt extended, more borrowing

Decline, global warming made up

2-3 million immigrants with criminal records

 

Inflation, handle homeless 2 million

More prisons and jails

Tariffs and trade wars dislocating

All is up for grabs

 

Enough speculation

Times are great and sound

Ambivalence, chess game

Luck of the Irish

 

A greater amalgamate interracial world

Bigots will rise, hate mongers spread their waves

Calamities and disease

All sound and fury the makings of the greatest drama on earth
