Clown in Chief

Clown in Chief

Crazy orange hair
whipped in a circle
and wrapped around
a block head
Tan lines
framing white eyes
Posing and pouting
with audience shrinking
Lashing out and lying
Demanding attention
Like a complete fool
who has misplaced
his red foam nose
You are nothing
but a clown

Lisa is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and
has prompted us with the word 'Clown'

Liar, Liar

Liar, Liar

Oh, how the mighty have fallen
Like the descending leaves of Autumn
Pointless to nurture this self-importance 
And the blind denial of inadvertence 
 
With integrity always in question
To blow one’s own trumpet an obsession
No inventory of achievements
And pathetic service deferments
 
Your adversaries looking for peace 
Wishing boastful outbursts would cease
Calling you out on your phony claims
Watching your fake news go up in flames

Game On

Just a game to you

You played because you could

Your unfiltered words and actions

a green light to those who contained

their hatred

No thought or dedication

or ability to multitask

Let alone read

Communication skills nonexistent

Your statistics will be great indeed

Destined for the history books

Headlining

The Biggest loser of all time

You are the antithesis of a hero

Orange is the new black

and you will wear it well
