Poems For Trump #67 Somebody Else's Babies ...



Somebody Else's Babies ... or a poem for Steve King a Republican
Representative of our esteemed governing classes who recently
came along with another jaw-dropping piece of White Supremacist
bullshit ...
Somebody else's babies
grew up in this green &
pleasant land to go on to
fight & die in the American
War in Vietnam, & the two
unforgivable invasions of Iraq,
which is far more than you
did Steve King,
you draft-dodging,
tough-talking patriot you,
so when you next wake up
calling out 'our destiny' maybe
you'd like to visit some graveyards
& pay some respect,
you empty-headed
Republican fool,
oh & glance back through history
awhile even cheat a bit by using
google quotes & get some sense
of who else in the history of the
20th century crowed about
'our destiny' ... you malignant
fascist you.
Calling it today!

Poems for Trump #10 Donald Trump ... Combat Veteran

"It is a dangerous world out there — it's scary, like Vietnam," Trump said about contracting sexually transmitted diseases during a 1997 interview with Howard Stern. "Sort of like the Vietnam era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier."

Oh yes ...
no its true,
cocaine & dancin' at Studio 54,
just like a jungle patrol with ever present
chance of immediate death
or dreadful injury
from claymore mines
or shit-smeared
bunji sticks,
or a bullet from nowhere
that shatters your head
and leaves your brains
all over
the man
behind you.
Oh yes ...
no really,
seducing an upcoming starlet
in his luxury pad,
well its just like
coming across
the charred
remains of
napalmed children,
weeping mothers
shell-shocked granmas,
no! ... it is!
Oh yes ...
seriously,
dining on rare steaks,
lobster & caviar
in his effort to
impress and
get a piece,
is just like
cold rations,
wet clothes,
leeches,
& festering
oozing wounds.
Oh yes ...
uh huh fa sure,
Trump's New York days
compare so well
to 58,000 U.S dead
and oh yes,
several million Vietnamese,
bombed,
shot,
obliterated,
incinerated.
Oh yes.
Donald J. Trump,
had it hard,
by God
he did.
