No. CLXXVIII: Alternative Disaster

The time has arrived
to reassess:
Trump is not stupid.
He is possessed.

He spews opinions
from Satan's dominions
to excite and arouse
millions of minions —
his Twitter followers,
wannabes, wallowers.

No hope for redemption.
Too late to ask it.
We're bound for hell
in Donnie's hand basket.

Pray for salvation?
Salvation! Nonsense!
The consequence
would be President Pence.

Pence as president?
Spare me! Oh, please!
That cure is worse 
than this disease.

Philanderer or Puritan,
lewd or prude.
Every which way,
I'd say we're screwed.
