though he does maintain sobriety
(can you dear reader guess
the name of the man of notoriety?)
Denizen donned
as commander in chief
resides and presides
at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20500
metes out harsh measures
to those who oppose him,
and essentially he rules
with an iron fist
and trumpets with the credo
his way or the highway.
Our inalienable rights
of life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness
left in figurative tatters
as he arrogantly struts
(think "peacock,"
which refers to the male,
whose mating plumage
quite eye catching to a peahen).
His land grabbing frenzy
citing eminent domain -
(the legal power of federal,
state, and local governments—
or their delegates,
such as utilities—
to take private property
for public use
without the owner's consent)
hints of outright hegemony
(leadership or dominance,
especially by one country
or social group over others)
to rule the world
similar to how our
collective founding
fathers and mothers
jump/kick started
the original thirteen colonies
at the resultant genocide
of indigenous peoples,
(who early on in the quest -
under the rubric
of manifest destiny
linkedin up
with those folks of color
sensing a common denominator
of ruthless abuses
heaped upon them
from European settlers)
smacks of outright totalitarianism.
When reading how savage abuse
perpetrated by invaders
who claimed wide swaths of the Americas
for their home country -
essentially engaging
in a free for all land grab
and indiscriminately
decimated populations willy nilly
and blithely abrogated
one treaty after another,
(and even to this day -
within the second decade
of the twenty first century -
aggression towards pockets
of aborigines
experiencing discrimination
many places across the globe
as do the so called
persons of color),
I feel appalled at being
a member of the human race.
Now those once proud natives
(once standing proud and tall)
dwell in hovels while groveling
along in destitution robbed
of their legacy farcically
(an adverb meaning
to act in a ludicrous, absurd,
or ridiculously clumsy manner,
characteristic of a farce)
laughably play acted
by faux "Indians" -
(a misnomer if ever I heard one)
as Potemkin Villages,
or perhaps passersby tossing
a few red cents
(cause heaven forfend
authentic Indian Head (Buffalo)
nickels in mint condition
(1913–1938) still
uncommonly distributed
and traded as grade A coins
typically range from $1–$10
in circulated condition,
but rare dates
or high-grade specimens
can be worth $100s
to over $100,000)
kept or sold by numismatics,
who if they may feel generous
bequest said
collector's items to rightful owners.
Synonymous with the forty fifth
and again forty seventh president
of the United States
who refused to stop the steal
concerning 2020 even when votes
got painstakingly retallied
courtesy accusing the nasty brute
also known as the Biden Administration
their progressive legislation
witnessed the wrecking ball
against Diversity, Equity, and Integrity
(a framework designed
to promote the fair treatment
and full participation
of all people,
particularly those
from underrepresented
or marginalized groups)
but such devastating
did not thoroughly dilute
at least within the
body electric of yours truly
no longer slender as a flute
nor can he claim being hirsute
flowing in long locks atop his head
a trademark now
can be purchased
as an attached accoutrement
with my trademarked jumpsuit
sold on Temu,
which low cost items
only require a small amount of loot
unlike the amount of money
dished out to acquire
the answer sheet for one N.E.W.T
Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test
(actually plural) exams taken
in seventh year of school
and determined the career
that students might be able
to pursue after graduation
ideally applying smarts
to an industry advancing
alternative energy resources
versus carbon based fuels that pollute,
which contaminants, whether vegetation
(which major vegetation reseeding
and reforestation projects
underway globally,
focusing on post-wildfire recovery,
mangrove restoration,
and landscape-level
biodiversity restoration,
which key initiatives include
the Great Green Wall in Africa,
the Billion Tree Tsunami in Pakistan,
and large-scale
U.S. National Forest restoration.
