day TWO HUNDRED and SEVENTY NINE


THE GREAT DIVIDE

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

Benito Mussolini.


In Trump’s America
You’re left to die
At your own expense.


The Donald doesn’t pay
Shipping fees.
He governs through arrogance


And ignorance.
His true believers,
Duped,


Reality TV aficionados,
Disciples, devotees of The Art of the Deal
Discover they’ve been funding his weekly golf trips,


Paid for his children’s business excursions.
Ignored his incoherent tweets.
When overwhelming evidence


Points to collusion with the Russians,
They remain mute,
Expressionless, pallid, anemic


Like lifeless faces on precoated milk cartons
Continuing to piss against the wind.

--Victor Henry
