New poem: "Kamala's Willful Deception"

 

Kamala’s Willful Deception

 

I should’ve been horrified, but I wasn’t;

I was more amused than disturbed

by the malevolent hypocrisy of the radical

progressives of the Democratic Party

of the United States as they stated their case

for their de facto candidate for the Oval

Office who underwent a miraculous

transformation from intransigent left-wing

positions to the more electable sensible

policies—no fracking to fracking, open

border to closed border—to win the votes

the Party needed to beat the former president

of the United States, Donald J. Trump,

who’s bluster and buffoonery got knocked

out of him by an assassin’s bullet at his

campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania;

and I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry

at Kamala’s willful deception as I listened

to her nomination acceptance speech

at the DNC in Chicago, Illinois.
