Inauguration Day Poem by The Trumpoet

Inauguration Day

Rating: 5.0


Your trumpists whoop and shout 'hooray'
You talked a lot but talk is cheap
It's your inauguration day
and now you've promises to keep

You must erect that border wall
or did you change that to a fence?
So wide, so deep and very tall
or were your promises nonsense?

And as for Clinton - Lock her up?
Or did you change your mind?
'Conflicting interests' you once said.
Such crimes in you they'd never find!

Will you deport each and every
undocumented immigrant?
When did you start backpedalling
from that initial angry rant?

And then there are the Muslim folk,
such a convenient bogeyman.
Will they all have to register
while you drop bombs on their homeland?

You said outsourcing steals jobs.
Let tariffs ease that trouble.
But how'll you soothe the working poor
when Walmart's prices double?

But know this, Donald, you have friends
to help with troubleshootin'.
Will you get cosy in that bed
with your dear comrade Putin?

The swamp you promised you would drain,
did it improve or worsen?
How will your bootlick billionaires
assist the average person?

And may we see at long, long last,
your tax returns today?
The ones you promised to release
but changed your mind along the way.

How will you handle, Mr. Trump,
these questions you must face?
The pressure's on you starting now
Lets hope you don't fall in disgrace.

So many promises you made
up to Inauguration day
But please don't keep them - they're so wrong
and such a price we all would pay.

An insightful piece of poetry on The US socio-economic and political terrain, elegantly brought forth in beautiful rhyme scheme with conviction. We shall all come to see what we must see when the come comes to become. A lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing The Trumpoet.
