Poetry – Divided

Divided

Divided he stands.

Divided we all fall

It’s all about power.

Nothing matters at all.

Black lives don’t matter

If you’re not in his base.

He’ll hit out in petulance

If you get in his face.

Do you think he cares

About George Floyd?

If it affects his ratings

He gets annoyed

As for the rest of the country?

Not a jot for you or me!

We’re just leftist scum

Not worthy of a single crumb.

Petulant

Divisive,

Arrogant,

Tyrannical

Vengeful,

Narcissistic,

Belligerent

Hypercritical.

The picture of a man who wants to build a wall.

He’d build another

Right through the States

Separating supporters

From us ingrates.

Divided he stands.

Divided we all fall

It’s all about power.

Nothing matters at all.

Opher 8.7.2020

The days of Donald Trump were days of uncouth division, rudeness and petulance. Like a child having tantrums. It was chaotic, extreme and extremely damaging.

Science, experts, the media and the environment all suffered the most.

It was the age of lies, fake news, conspiracy and superstition.

Thank heavens its ended.
