New poem: "The Genius of Donald J. Trump"

 

The Genius of Donald J. Trump

 

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born

with a genius for music, as was Beethoven;

Albert Einstein was blessed with a genius

for physics, and Shakespeare incarnated

with a staggering genius for playwriting,

not to mention all those born with a genius

in other domains of life—the arts, sports,

science; but the genius who perplexed

me most from the day I heard him speak

was the 45thPresident of the United States

of America, Donald J. Trump, who was

born with a dazzling genius for hyperbole

that’s misperceived as mendacity, a rare

genius to take the small and make it large

to give the soul of the American people

all the room it needs to grow.
