He is his usual talkative self today. I can hear him from blocks away. He is first, he is the loudest In the midst of where the crowd is. Like any cult leader To many true believers He is God in the flesh No a demagogue at best. In front mics and megaphone His drum beats like a metronome, Spinning tales taller Than drunken men in parlours. He talks socialism and "wokeness" To the forgotten and the hopeless, Inflaming passions With whatever he imagines. He is a traveling merchant Of the reality alternate. When truth is inconvenient There can be no agreement. Whose gonna save his soul? He's broken hes never been whole. He is a bottomless pit. He was always "Unfit" And a burning place below is beckoning One day soon there'll be a reckoning! WBJS 6/2/22
