Pandemic Now

Pandemic Now

“Disasters are an opportunity for the worst of
humanity--and the best”.
A.G. Riddle, Pandemic.

Trump becoming President was broken news,
like being told you have Stage 4 cancer. 
We knew there were dark days ahead.
We awaited the nausea and callous pain.

Like being told you have Stage 4 cancer--
it was the political Fascista variety;
we awaited the nausea and callous pain.
Who knew the depth of his malignancy?

It was the political Fascista variety.
It attacked our spirit and our heart.
Who knew the depth of his malignancy?
His twisted darkness is infectious.

It attacked our spirit and our heart.
We knew there were dark days ahead.
His twisted darkness is infectious.
Trump becoming President was broken news.

He's not only ruining your country, he's getting involved in Brexit and there are rumours that he has his sights set on the NHS - the worse thing is that he is completely ignorant about life over here! He doesn't know much about real life in the States either. He's a cancerous carbuncle.

He is a menace to the world... truly, and we have only begun to see the havoc he can cause.

I expect him to be reelected actually.

He's a nightmare for all of us! I seriously hope he doesn't get re-elected. We need a sensible leader.

Yet throngs of Americans who consider themselves to be God-fearing sing his praises, blind to his moral turpitude and blatant telling of lies. It boggles the mind!

Have two statements, elicited by this excellent pantoum.
1. I really like this Glenn!
2. FUCK TRUMP!
