Misgivings

Apocalyptic day of horror
as a dog was voted into office
who denies the climate change
and wants to recommence
the global world environment destruction
and by any means add to the tensions
risking new world wars and the apocalypse.

I am no murderer and cannot use a gun,
but in my quiet thoughts my common sense
repeatedly suggests, that someone should,
before it is too late, gun down that man.

Or am I wrong? Can there be any hope
for such a lying despicable monster
of the very worst kind of a politician?

Someone said, that all you can do
in this situation is to pray and meditate,
and maybe by some dark force
that might be the only thing
that actually surprisingly could help.

As the old Chinese proverb teaches us:
"If you wait long enough with patience at the river shore,
you'll one day see your enemy's corpse come floating by."

Thank you, Ashe. Yes, it is very critical indeed. This is a problem we will have to battle with for some time.

I feel.it is the darkest hour in our country, at least in my lifetime. We have joined those countries who have suffered being ruled by tyrants. We have turned the calendar of time back a hundred years or more. He will harm our country and the world in the most despicable and irrevocable ways.
I would not, however recommend in any way that he be turned into a martyr or use his own violent ways that we object to so much. Besides, then we would be left with the vice president who is just as scary, only hides it better. I am so glad someone finally wrote a poem on this subject. I couldn't find the words.
