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.

                    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!

From our Poet in Residence in St. Augustine...
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.

From our Poet in Residence in St. Augustine...

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.
