day ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED and EIGHTY EIGHT

"Swine King"

We elected a reality
show star to guide us into
a promised land of
plastic and semen.
Look where we are now:
the borders are ravaged with
leprosy and he's groveling for
attention, bragging about ratings.
Right-wingers adorn
themselves with tin-foil in
their quest to discredit
apocalyptic tones and
cry at anything that makes
their swine king look
like a pig.
Meanwhile, their families
beg them to listen to
reason with breath that reeks of
apathetic genocide.
The president takes
precedent over our loved ones.
His supporters kiss his feet with
rotted lips while the country
begs for a cure or to
be put down.
Will they pull the trigger with
their leader's numb hand or
will they swallow their
pride, admit they were
wrong, and help our
nation become stronger than
it ever was?

--Robert J.W.
