Triump-fall

               By Lance Carden
 
Triumpty Dumpty’s still sittin’
on his wall,
but that Triumpty Dumpty’s
            about to fall
in polls & out of power –
 
not over a low, porous barrier
            with Mexico,
but that tall Trump Tower
            he’s long sought
in Vladimir Putin’s Moscow.*
 
Let Mr. Mueller now sow
            the evidence together
till every child knows:
            Our Emperor’s forgot
to put on his clothes.

Trump in
Quicksand
              By Lance Carden
 
 Trump’s house is built
            politically
            on mere quicksand--
on lies, half-truths, & hate,
            on which
            biblically
nothing can firmly stand.
 
So, sooner than later,
            prophetically,
            Trump’s tall towers,
his henchmen, & all
            seem certain
            to self-collapse,
& great will be their fall.

                    Souls for Sale?                                                    By Lance Carden

​There is no longer
any room
 for doubt
           about whether
our President, Donald Trump,
         has sold out
     his office
        & his soul,
 but we might have to wait
as late
          as December
                    to witness the fate
of some other GOP souls,
        in the House
          & the Senate--
to know
if they also are about to be sold!

The Joke
Is on Us!
By Lance Carden
 
If we, by ourselves, had elected
a misguided
& inane leader,
we might justly allow him
to misguide
& misrule us,
but if, in the election process,
Russian spies
& hackers
illegally & massively beguiled
& deceived us,
as they did,
then this so-called “leader”
has no clear right
to the Oval Office.

When the ‘News’
Gets You Down
       By Lance Carden

                                                       Yes, there may be more
                                                                  fake news
                                                                  & abuse in the air
                                                      today than before –
                                                                  more error to ensnare
                                                                  & drive to despair
                                                      those unadvised
                                                                  that the greater
                                                                  the errors
                                                      & the size of the lies
                                                                  the more sure
                                                                  is the future
                                                      of their total demise.
