№ 621: Who Is Donald Trump?

FREUDVILLE, June 19

Though he lays claim to “a very big brain”,
this “stable genius” is all weather vane.
Instead of democracy in his giant noodle,
there are “ideas” brutal and feudal.
He knows might makes right. He can't read or write.
And despite his boasting, he's not over bright.

Of what he is not, add to your list
IN CAPITAL LETTERS: capitalist!
A real capitalist can acknowledge defeat.
A real capitalist does not always cheat.
(And real capitalists know how to eat.)
A real capitalist, unlike Donald John,
does not think and act like a Mafia don,
seeing the law as something you play with. . .
anything's “legal” that you get away with.
With truth, Donald has little to do,
he truly believes, “I say it, it's true.”

That said, Trump's end would be by many sadly lamented.
By those who are dazed, damned, dozing, demented.
By those who would welcome a Cæsar's authority —
and they, today, are a worldwide majority.
