- although this does exactly what I said I wouldn't do, just letting it off my chest this once and I'll be done... may not be the best way, but sorry, I have enough of my own things to deal with without adding this stress on top of it all...  

As if it wasn't already enough

That we're having our space,

Our time, and our attention

Highjacked by this consumate

Asshole, we also have to contend

With everyone expressing their

Disbelief and discontent about him.

Everywhere you find yourself,

It's inescapable, everyone's talking

About it all, unloading their stress.                 

And, well, although I understand,

I want no part of it.  I refuse to know

The details about anything he says or

Does, 'cause what's the point?

Idiocy and mindlessness

Padded in sheer callousness

And self-serving purposes

Don't change with more details.

So I remove myself from such talks

And skip anything that mentions him.      (or his cronies)

Because I just can't.

I completely refuse

To have any of my time

Be spent on such a vile character.

I don't need the details to know

It's all bad, that's an established

Given, as well as the damage

He's causing, no surprises there.

It's not me burying my head in sand, but

Furthering our feelings of powerlessness

Doesn't strike as the best course of action.

So to preserve my well-being, my mind,

I don't want to hear what he said,

I don't want to know his latest actions,

'Cause the details really don't make a difference

To the fact it's all incredibly terrible, but expected.

Doesn't change that we can't do anything about it,

'Cause apparently once someone is elected,

There's nothing in place to stop them if they veer.

So for that, I choose to starve him of my attention.

It's the only thing this guy truly deserves in the first place.
