"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." - Lord Acton

::::::::

USA for sale! USA for sale! USA for sale!

Tis nary a mirage. nor, a lark

Hark! hark! the dogs do bark

The beggars are coming to town

Adorned in gaudy, golden, pretend-kingly-gowns and bedecked with imaginary multi-tiered crowns

Alas! Tacky-Trump outshines the most evil, scary, killer-clown.

**

Contemptuous of timeless, valued, sacred rules and grifting off the tax payers' toilful, finiite and precious dime

Shaking down heads of state and potentates

In peace and wartime terrains and climes

At the presidential-patronage princely-price, of a palace-in-the-sky

US power, prestige and perquisites are shamelessly trashed, thereafter; nakedly hawked

Depraved dealings; akin to open-air-market street drugs, bartered, sold and bought.

**

Presidential beggary takes priority, pre-eminence and prominence

Whilst dire, societal life-and-death issues are callously robbed of, visionary or positive, policy dominance

Trump and his ilk presenting to the world, America's ugly face

A low-down, monstrous; national disgrace

In the midst of grave moral failings and criminal actions, globally flaunted

Hence, non-white populations reject claims of vaunted superiority and resist rabid, racist, actions and taunts.

**

Joining hearts and minds with the moral majority in Trump's America

Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, Asia and Antarctica

Unite to form a noble, humanity-loving, coalition of the willing

In opposition to the Trump-obeisant-cabal, who delight to do his demented, evil bidding

For when there is a casting down, there shall be a lifting up - Job 22.29
