Sonorous Bluster, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter), Inspired by Vulcanlogician posting the Whitman poem.
Meaningless magniloquent
Boisterous cacophony
The Oval Office
In hate filled chaos
5 years of
Birther garbage
Down an escalator
Lowest denominator
Vilify and scapegoat
Sell that of hate
Not that of
Hope
I write this on
A holiday
About a man
Who uplifted everyone
On the steps
Of the Lincoln Memorial
He wanted us all
To be together
But decades later
In our top office
Is a boisterous, dangerous
Selfish narcissist
We cannot aford
Nor normalize
Such vile politics
Least America die
Hope is what
Is uplifting
That of King, JFK
Obama's way
Instead a billow
Fiery forked tongue
The orange snake
Of which we shouldn't condone.
