The World Holds It`s Breath

Poetic Licence

The World Holds Its Breath.

 

Power gained by the old corrupt politician.

Let us make your country great once again.

A chance to cover up all his past mistakes.

Even more liberties he can now freely take.

 

The Head of the new billionaire’s boys club.

To fulfil the destiny, he has craved so much.

Ready to fill pockets with more stolen gold.

Fight to ensure their secrets remain untold.

 

The son of immigrants, where he came from

Now immigrants he has turned his back on.

States he is proud to be an American citizen

Was not prepared to arm and fight for them

 

Faked medical injury to not join USA military

Spent his whole life riddled with dishonesty.

Crooked deals, theft, lies and bankruptcies

Then a Misogynistic, Bullying TV Personality

 

It`s not your place to question instructions.

Truth and honesty was never a valid option.

Only yes men stand by side of the top elite.

Catch their shit and kiss their crooked feet.

 

Honesty and accountability are not a policy.

All you will achieve is quick fire redundancy.

Will rewrite completely the statute law book.

Ban anyone who dares to takes a closer look.

 

Manipulation is part of his egotistical game.

They will torment and ridicule you by name.

Memory when suits of a matriarch elephant.

You will pay your due, on that he is hell bent.

 

What climate change just an old wife’s tale.

Already planned to start drilling those wells.

Repay all the favours and donations he took.

To rebalance the hidden second set of books.

 

Criminal charges vanished; all just disappear.

Now all the judiciary is operating in daily fear.

Equality, Diversity have become feared words.

Right wing views only, the media have shared.

 

Democracy devalued and being ripped apart.

Total dictatorship straight from the very start.

You shall not do what I do, but only what I say.

you can get your suitcases and be on your way.

 

Canada now the new victim in the playground

He is going to take control of little Greenland.

He wants all the world to be Americas patsy’s

Everyone except America must pay the taxes.

 

Ukraine left alone and completely abandoned

Wants Mr. Putin to have more Ukrainian land

Them to join NATO, the orange man has Vetoed

Leaving them unable to defend their Homeland

 

American ballistics raised Gaza to the ground

Now he wants to move all the Palestinian man

His friend Netanyahu on the side just smiling

Israelis’ settlers will land grab all and move in.

 

Americans kill Americans with American guns

Yet high crime is the fault of the migrant’s sons

America was built with immigrant’s slave trade

Americans will all become modern day slaves

 

USA drug companies create addictive despair

Mexican residents are now drug mule couriers

Elon left to do whatever he chooses and wants

Because he put the money into Mr Trumps bank

 

Supported and funded by his lunatic sidekick.

His country and the world he will slowly strip.

As he tries to emulate his friend, idol and icon.

The charming man of peace !!!, Mr Vlad Putin.

 

Their own bank accounts will grow great again

Making more wealth for the billionaire friends

While life just gets harder for every American

Poverty and division rides across their nation

 

There is still a long road for this man to travel.

Complicated mind to understand and unravel.

Hopefully there is still some humanity in there.

And he will show a little compassion and care.

 

We sit and wait patiently for carnage to come.

And the unrepairable damage that will be done.

Will he be an asset to us and save planet earth.

All take a deep inhale and all hold your breath.

            Bingo! Then bringing the two together (internally).

            Strong feelings something that America has not had in a long time. Wait and see if the bull shit that has been spread is a growth stimulant or too strong and burns the roots. When the horrific becomes humorous all we can do is laugh. Good and passionate write.

                          At 72 I’ve been around the block a few times. There was a saying no so long ago that everyone was entitled to their opinion.
                          I lost friends and family in the last few years as they pushed me away because my opinion did not conform with theirs. Sad….

                            Sorry to hear that had happened, everyone is entitled to their opinion whether we like it or not I believe, as long as it's not offensive,have a good day

                            • John Prophet

                              Unfortunately, there are those who consider opposing political opinions offensive. There was a time when most in the country were in the political center. Center left or center right. These people could talk to each other. I’ve always considered myself center right, sill do. Mainly fiscally keeping spending under control.
                              For that position I’m now consider a semi fascist by some. Sad….

                              Truth, and nothing but the truth. A well-spoken piece. I feel like it will all come crashing down on him soon. (You reap what you sow). I pray for it to be true. Well spoken, - Phil A.

                                Such true words Tobani very well written, all he cares about is what is in it for him and not care about anybody else.
