left out in the sun
rotting from apathy
carcasses of constituents
who foolishly were trolled
lured by the shiny lies
took the bait – were reeled in
while the foul beast of trump
slouches off with eden
marrow dripping from a smile

What you say is both scary and true. And . . . .
“A wise person knows they do not know what they do not know, so in that, they remain always open to possibility” This is so true as well. The Dunning Kruger effect!!

Thank you Judy, and I appreciate you referring me to the piece. Interesting reading. Not sure I have answers?
Poet as sentinel in dark times, well said Rob.
Thank you Paul, very much!
It seems the topic word “troll” has brought to the mind of many of us the tweeting trumpet, the blight of Washington. This is brilliant, Rob!
Thank you Bev. The fool is so transparent!
This piece is brilliant, indeed, brother. You rocked the prompt, and got in a good jab at the same time; superior work.
Thanks Glenn! Tried my best to skewer the bastard!
There seems to be no cure for this disease.
The only cure for this disease Kerfe, is the end of Trump. He is a horrid example of a man, a failed statesman, an unfit leader, and am embarrassment to the civilized world! IMHO
I like the description of reeling in those constituents.
And the damned fools still take the bait. I don’t get it Frank, he is such a miserable excuse for a human being.
Love this one! This troll needs to get out of the White House and back under a bridge where he belongs!
Yes he does Irma!
Rob, what may be most troubling is that, deep inside, his constituents know he is lying, but he appeals to the ugly/racist/nationalist/homophobic parts of his fans and gives them permission to bring their hate out into the open. He’s a dangerous man that has brought the ugly out of a lot of people.
It is a sad and utterly strange , ugly situation Jade. Almost embarrassing to be an American right now, certainly frustrating as hell!! 😐
