Merry Trumpmess

sorenbarrett

Putting down a holiday revolt is an orange haired dolt
Christmas a foreign tale, deemed unamerican it is necessary to curtail
Jesus not born on US soil, a suspected terrorist his sedition we must spoil
Imports to control, place tariffs on children's toys from the North Pole
Santa denied a visa is detained, awaiting deportation in chains retained
Due to global warming, a slice of ICE sent to the North Pole to chill the soul
Gathering up elves in twelves and Episcopalians, charging Santa with hiring illegal aliens

      • orchidee

        Has he got a dodgy wig too, as someone else has?!

        • sorenbarrett

          Given the choice why would someone choose a wig like that? It's just got ta be real

          Like "Santa denied a visa is detained." Well written as always SB.

            You made me laugh, nicely put. Your poem "Merry Trumpmess" critiques contemporary political attitudes toward immigration and cultural traditions, particularly around the Christmas holiday. It presents a satirical perspective on how policies and rhetoric can impact cherished customs and figures associated with the season.

                  Soren, this piece cuts because it refuses subtlety. The rhymes move fast, the images escalate, and the satire keeps tightening its grip. It’s absurd, yes (so is where we are currently)…but it’s also uncomfortably recognizable. A biting, fearless holiday revolt. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

                    Thank you Tristan for the read and comment of support it is most appreciated. What better time to revolt than the holidays for was not the birth of one of the greatest rebels a good time to cry revolt. For one that stood for equality with a Samaritan parable not a time to cry nationalism and prejudice.

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      You are most welcome! Agreed! πŸ’― It seems like you and I visited the same ball park this morning! It's rockin' to not be alone, my friend!

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Right with you my friend at times the universe aligns.

                        Who is Satan ? where is Santa ?

                        • sorenbarrett

                          Satan has orange hair Santa is being detained for illegal entry. Thanks for the read Lorenz

                        • Mottakeenur Rehman

                          This sharp satire masterfully wields holiday themes to critique policy and paranoia. The blend of absurdity and pointed allegory is brilliantly effective. A darkly merry and memorable piece.

                          • sorenbarrett

                            Thank you so much Mottakeenur for your generous and kind words of encouragement they are most appreciated.

                                Kudos, from the other side of the Pond, I seriously cannot believe we are all a part of his show. 🌹

                                • sorenbarrett

                                  Thanks Teddy for the read and comment. It is a sitcom where all are sitting and laughing but no one is doing anything. Maybe that is best by letting his follies and foibles prove to his constituents that his ways are not what they thought. There is a chance for a nonviolent ending to this farce.
