...And They Listen













He struts to the podium, with a smirk on his face
His portentous persona, utterly devoid of grace

He reads the crowd well, and so knows what to say
A greedy guide, who has led his flock astray

And it shocks me, to watch this lot cheer
His revolting sermon, of hatred and fear

I know that these do not make a great nation, greater
And he who disagrees, is likely a bigot and a traitor

But how reason by so many, is so easily forsaken
My faith in humanity, now stands utterly shaken

Yet, I continue to hope, that he miserably fails
And that common sense, eventually prevails
