Trump cares nothing for money, it is power and adulation he is a junkie for. Epstein’s good buddy.
I saw video of Obama in Flint when they asked him to drink some of the water. He put the glass to his lips and mimed drinking. Trump with The Bible is no different. He’s about as far from Jesus as one can get, which is ok for anyone — UNLESS YOU ARE POTUS and holding a (what appears to be an unused) Bible in your hand. Did he spray whitewash on his hand?
Somebody at dVerse I think it was yesterday said it is a poet’s job to “speak the truth.” Good job of speaking, my artistic poet friend.
Was the world ever whole, I wonder? If it wasn’t it’s because we have had too many leaders who pick out the basest, most selfish desires and elevate them to the place of right. The masses follow.

Thanks Jade. Yes that hand was mystifying. But then everything about him is.

I wonder if he were put through an MRI what would we find. Maybe he’s not from this world.

It’s so true. The world does seem very broken, and who will speak up?

Eloquent and true. These are the times when poets are called to Prophesy–bear witness to the truth.
You could easily add this one to my challenge, too, by the way. 😉

“What’s going on?” – both your words and the song underscore the adage “the more things change…”
