Dawn of Darkness

Dawn of Darkness

“The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-
bitten thigh of a maiden.”--Roger Zelazny.

Day 8 
has dawned
on the Trumpian era.

Muslims are
being murdered
while at prayer
in Quebec.

Trump’s immigrant ban
has transformed all the
world’s airports
into sloth-pits.

No one 
was consulted
or directed,

Chaos reigns supreme
as Benito Baloney

plays at President. 


Glenn Buttkus

    I wonder if he will ever call the murder of Muslims in Canada an act of terror...

    Seems to be the recurring theme today... hard to search for positives in such an environment.

    I always wondered about the word impeachment - that's going to be a peach of a day!

    Welcome to 1984. I wonder how George Orwell must have felt if he lived to see Trump. *sigh*

    You always nail it! Sloth pit indeed. Tipping my morning cup to you, my friend ☕
    And I must add, how appropriate you begin with a quotation that is not quite "grabbing" but the bite is close enough.
