Now. . .
I really hate saying it,
but it seems to me
observing the state of today's GOP,
they prefer a scoundrel with whom they “agree”
and care not a whit for climate or country.
Is that too harsh, lacking in tact?
I believe not, given the fact
that this overstuffed idiot,
this adulterous liar,
regardless of whether
he ever conspired
he ever conspired
with Russia or others
or read Wikileaks
has turned us over
to amoral freaks
without principles, consciences —
dare I say souls? —
crooks and connivers
and all sorts of trolls
who, to be fair,
think themselves “The Just”.
What we think of them,
What we think of them,
they think of us.
Sadly, with people,
'twas ever thus.
Brutus and Bonaparte. Attila the Hun.
Are they the bad guys just 'coz
the other guys won?
One happy thought is,
no matter how rotten,
for those who survive them,
bad guys are forgotten.
Except, of course,
in history courses
depending on who and
what are the sources.
Throughout Eurasia,
looking hither and yon,
one finds few fans
of Genghis Khan,
save in Mongolia
where he is revered
as that nation's
national hero.
Eight hundred years on
would it be a surprise
if Donald were seen
in a similar guise?
As he himself says,
“We'll see. Time will tell.”
I put the odds at
snowball in hell.
Looking back at what
I said in beginning
should we be in fear
of GOP winning?
Stick a fork in it.
It's over and done.
Open your eyes.
We lost. They won.
Not every Republicans
equally craved
destroying America
in order to save it.
It's like before, when
with joyful rambunction,
to stay in power,
they undid Reconstruction.
Now we will have
new tribulations
in both domestic
and foreign relations.
Still I have hope
we may change gears—
in three or four
hundred more years.
