Reading Tyranny in Time of Crisis
As an outline
for the Days of Rage
known as The Trump
Administration
Is read as a should-be
Bible
for resistors
not unlike the one
he holds up
outside St John’s
church in DC
blaspheming the holy
words in a blatant
act of self-promotion
The real take away here
is the man who plays
a president on TV
walking past walls
of obscene phrases
and political rants
with him as the subject
words that represent
a sadness in the world
so deep the tear gassed
peaceful protestors cried
Even Jesus wept.
