I wonder how FBI Comey is feeling
Now that his blunders have shaken the world
There’s clear evidence that his words unappealing
Caused more undecideds to give Trump a whirl

Trump promised he’d really shake Washington up
His lack of discretion, refusing the views
Of Cabinet experts, this blundering pup
Has Washington people all shaking in shoes

It’s strange how a thoughtless mistake by one guy
Can reap repercussions that change history’s course
Trump’s blunders could bring wars where millions could die
Great storms can be traced to a butterfly source

A proverbial bull in a store full of china
Is Trump running rampant through foreign affairs
His phone call today to the Taiwanese state
Was Ignorance leaping, imperiling our fate
The way it was done making no one aware
Could upset our fragile relations with China

Afghanistan, Philippines, Taiwan and more
Wherever Trump’s interests commercial are set
It’s there where Trump calls giving nary a care
To mutual relations, of things to beware
Where offhand remarks could be viewed as a threat
A world of uncertainty’s what we’re in for

The good old Don Trumple we knew on the stump
Appears is still with us, ‘though President next
He held a big rally like candidate Trump
With his standard lies and aggrandizing text

Trump needs adulation by his loyal crew
It’s his affirmation of how he’s so great
They live in his bubble where Trump speaks the truth
And actual REALITY can’t penetrate

It’s what to expect of this presidency
With pretense and falsehoods pervading the news
A challenge for newscasters: REALITY
To dig deep to find truth to put in your views

Trump tweeted this morning he’ll no longer be
In charge of his empire, vast as it is
He’ll legally transfer control to his kids
Regarding his holdings he’ll be worry free

As such he can concentrate all of his time
On running the country and running the World
Avoiding appearances, claims that were hurled
Of conflicts of interest, committing of crimes

In looks superficial it seems to be great
But none of his holdings was Trump to divest
Another Trump scam just like all of the rest
We’ve voted a con man to be head of state

Trump ‘s gaudy parade of proposed candidates
For senior positions in his Cabinet
Except for a few who’re at least second rate
They appear to be choices he’ll come to regret

They oft have opinions that don’t square with Trump
And little real knowledge concerning their post
Or records to cause them the Senate to dump
They’re hardly the people ’bout whom we would boast

Trump seems to be running Apprentice writ big
A TV performance where he’s number one
He’s capturing cameras, which he really digs
It hardly bodes well for the Country he’ll run

My mother, of memory blessed, used to say
A true-ism pertinent more so today
“The longer you lived with your dirt”, we were told
“The cleaner it looked”, truly wisdom of old

In politics this is called normalization
Positions once worthy of our condemnation
When brought to the table by those holding power
Become more legitimate, seeming to flower

But dirt is still dirty no matter it’s place
The Press has a duty reporting each case
Not to be “neutral” or “fair” to both sides
Rather telling the facts, letting TRUTH be their guide

I find it concerning there’s no hue and cry
From the Republican probe-happy House
You’d think they’d be saddling up horses high
Instead they’re behaving as though they’re a mouse

Our most adversarial non-enemy
That wants to regain international clout
Hijacked our election with impunity
Affecting the outcome, there is little doubt

So now Putin’s puppet will be President
And gleeful Republicans owe Putin thanks
These actions by Russia are now precedent
Rep. silence is deafening throughout their ranks

I read that the Grandmothers called Trump a “bom”
Like many a would-be dictator on Earth
A boy-man, self centered for all that he’s worth
Who never matured past his time with his mom

They said this portends a new difficult age
An age of retraction, an age of despair
With each for his own, but beyond – little care;
That civilization must pass through this stage

They’re known for far seeing, this spiritual group
They’re known for their wisdom, the things they suggest
Be active, join others in meeting this test
And always be vigilant not to be duped

I’m neither a prophet nor am I one’s son
However, I recognize truths that I see
The Grandmothers’ dictums in their recipe
Are truly the way that this battle is won

Adjectives

I’ve written many adjectives
Some less than complementary
Not always purely objective
For reasons elementary
And sometimes most irrational
Opinions quite implacable
And even times sensational
But not, for me, retractable
Concerning Donald Trump

But now that he’ll be President
Decisions quite inimical
That could be setting precedents
Which purely are political
And really controvertible,
They’re simply not ignorable,
The label most applicable
Is now the word, deplorable
Applied to Donald Trump

Just don’t be taken in by little signs
That cause you to conclude that things are fine
That things are normal; don’t, by these be fooled.
It’s Marsha Gessen’s “Autocratic Rule”

We’ve seen retreats from pledges that Trump rues
Obama Care and “lock her up” – a few
Trump’s infrastructure plan is just a sham
It won’t create new jobs nor fix our dams

Emoluments from foreign companies
Our Constitution does prohibit these
As President he, Trump, will do what’s best
Those cannot be conflicts of interest

Already Trump in his activities
Has monetized his office soon to be
As Marsha Gessen’s stern admonishment –
We must remain forever vigilant
