A Unique Battle

He is seventy two and older than atom bomb.
He is in forties, and heading for a history.
He has fought a war, and now seated in a coliseum.
He has composed the new song of change.

His supporters spread lies, ignorance, and hatred.
His followers will bring a change.
He is ready to take any path to dupe the mass.
He has composed the new song of change.

A proud single mom, new age symbol,
is the trump card in his campaign.
She would tax exempt the beauty queens
and mascaras, wigs, eyeliners, and hipsters.

He has a trusted seasoned man pitted
to fight the waning symbol of sex appeal.
He will pump greed and delusion.
He will have to clean the blood stains.

He is seventy two and older than atom bomb.
He is in forties, and heading for history.
He has fought a war, and now seated in a coliseum.
He has composed the new song of change.

    Have not heard that one in a while. Poet Thinkers are a good thing. Deep and pressing truths press all around us, yet so many of us only sense something is dreadfully amiss...
