The Coronation of Trump

A coronation, watched by our entire great nation,

Some with trepidation, others boisterous jubilation.

Trump feted, his fawning family silhouetted,

Basking in his light, his confidence and might.

This Grand Old Party, it's followers vociferous and hearty,

Anointing their chosen man, to rule their ever-growing clan;

No harm to love a cause, giving thought and sometimes pause,

To what this passion brings, the words the siren sings.

Whereas strong leadership is good, it can be tainted just like food,

For democracy renounced, cannot then easily be found.

Let’s be careful what we wish, lest it be a poisoned dish,

Our founders crafted choice, beyond just

one resounding voice;

Autocracy is not a word, that in our Lexicon is heard,

We must vigilance ensure, for our country's story to endure.

Unity the dream, but like salmon in a raging stream,

Needs fortitude and grit, knowing when to fight and for the greater good, submit.
