5 NOVEMBER FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO OUR HOUSE

Posted by: a.newspoet - Posted on:

IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS   

THE PRESIDENT WAS EFFERVESCENT             

FULL OF HIS ACOLYTES 

THE EAST ROOM IN THE WHITE HOUSE WAS A BUBBLE OF EXCITEMENT  

FROTHING AT THE PROSPECT OF PROVING THE PUNDITS WRONG  

ONE METAPHOR TOO MANY?

AN IMAGE TOO FAR TO BRIDGE?  

BUT THEY THEMSELVES ARE TOO MUCH  

RODEO WHOOPS+BOTTLES OF BEER 

SURELY HAVE NO BUSINESS HERE 

IT’S NOT A QUESTION OF EXCESS

BUT WHETHER THAT’S THE SPIRIT OF THEIR GOD’S GRACE    

OR DO THEY KNOW  

IT’S UNHOLY?   

WHILE TRUMP TAKES PRECEDENCE……..  

LOCKDOWN’S LISTED SECOND ON ENGLAND’S NATIONAL NEWS    

AMBITIONS THWARTED 

LIVES DISPLACED   

RELEGATED ONE MORE TIME    

LOSING OUT TO THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE  

ARE WE SMALLER THAN WE SHOULD BE? 

HAVE WE BECOME ‘THE LITTLE PEOPLE’?  

NEXT TO NOTHING AT ALL 

WISHING THAT PUBLIC CONSENT 
WILL NOT BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED       
YOURS TRULY
