Donald Doggerel

Hearts are Trumps
Minds are hers
but hearts and minds
should rule
When truth is just
what we choose
democracy is what
we lose

Bombast braggadocio
and toxic racist slurs
rouse the rabble 
and Tyranny stirs
Fear of other 
preys on fears
Donald ducks the facts
hatred in his sneers

The worst in us
is his aim
bilious animus
is his claim
Hubris demagoguery
conceals the corrosive 
misogyny that serves an
odious philosophy

Beware America when you last
distrusted reason and ignored
the lessons from the past
you gave us war, death tolls soared
you forgot your history 
of trust in law and probity
Trump deserves your obloquy
and your return to sanity
