Dark Roads

It’s now an older story but it still deserves a poem
Because it so encapsulates things to which Trump is prone
Like not having a clue about laws that were passed to stay
Vacuous vile vindictive fools ordering blow away
Anyone they see as foes because their ego’s hurt
By leaks their cowardice led them to hunker down in dirt.

Trump wanted he or she who leaked his frightened bunker run

Thus proving of those who are brave he’s not a chosen one

To be ‘executed’ just like in Wild West days

When hangings and shoot outs were nothing to town folks amaze

As wannabe king he was sure it was his sovereign right

To order ‘executions’ of those who exposed his fright.

Imagine all the ‘executions’ Trump could order up

If he’s returned to office by Republicans corrupt

Whose gaslighting claims insurrection we watched on TV

Was just a visit by tourists as peaceful as could be

Trump’s second term in office he’d then use to justify

‘Executing’ all who cast votes bidding him goodbye.

How would mass ‘executions’ he’s then order up proceed?

Bullets cost a lot and there’s less rope than he would need

But maybe that’s why he said Hitler did some good things too

When faced with the same urge to push mass ‘executions’ through

Those border camps where he caged kids are pretty much cleared out

And to them fossil fuel buddies could pipe in gas, no doubt.

This small poetic fantasy is just an exercise

In about what could happen if we do not keep both eyes

On the current insane monster convinced God chose him king

And would thus justify mass ‘executions’ he could bring

Once reinstated through the efforts of GOP toads

Who pave the way for him to follow Hitler down dark roads.
