ANOTHER WASTELAND (July 14) —
III
This will be a dead land
This will be a sans land
Sans people, sans health
Sans even Trumpian pelf
The doings of his tiny hand
Undertaken, pawn of Russian Tsar
It is like this
In a devastated nation
Honor gone
At the end when we are
Defeated, downtrod
Virus crushed, market driven
By dimwit dunce undone.
Monday: Part the First
Yesterday: Part II
Tomorrow: Part IV
Friday: Part the Last
