This is a powerful and very critical poem about President Donald J. Trump. Given its themes of boastfulness, shifting truth, disregard for oaths/trust, ambition, and self-aggrandizement in a position of power, it highlights the arrogance and the abuse of authority.
Against the heavens doth the Trumpet sound,
Whose brazen bluster knows no check or bound.
His truth, a weathercock that spins and veers,
To sow confusion in the common ears.
He holds the oath as light as painted dust,
And deems his will the only sacred trust.
No gentle grace doth sit upon his tongue,
But boastful scorn, on every rival flung.
To humble souls, he shows a face of stone,
And counts the realm his own domain, his throne.
The gilded cage his heart doth most desire,
To warm his ego with perpetual fire.
Ah, woe the age, when such a man doth rise,
To blind fair justice with ambitious lies.
