Writer's Digest April 2023 Poems

Madness in the United States

Madness in the United States

When Donald Trump
Ran for president
Served as president
Ran and lost re-election
Falsely claiming the big lie
That the election was stolen
There erupted madness in the land
As millions of people were infected
With this man’s dark, deranged vision
A nightmarish vision of America
Filled with bigoty, darkness, despair, and fear.
hatred, loathing, madness, racism,
retribution, sexism, talk about a civil war
threats of violence fill the airwaves
the madness in the United States
will never end
as long as Donald breathes.
Perhaps not even after he dies.
