Disaster and catastrophe, chaotic and confusion
Words that used to have a meaning with emotions
Deeply felt
Now you hear them on TV describing Trump’s
Most recent doings
And you take but little notice as such words
Go flying by
Hardly do they capture all the misery created
When a father tells his family he’s no longer
Got a job
Looking bleakly at his future, knowing not
What’s next to do
There is no word that captures this
His emptiness describes it all
But cable anchors have to talk
‘Though empty words are all they’ve got
Meanwhile the Pres. does mindlessly
Destroy the workings of the government we
Used to have
Along with our economy
As well as former allies gone
Our treaties with them now are empty words
From where does Trump derive his power?
From his MAGA base who threaten those in office
As Republicans
And therein dwells the true source of Trump’s strength
Congressional Republicans afraid
To lose their seats
They witness all misery their cowardice achieves
With emptiness
