Absentee Landlord Poem by John Sensele

Absentee Landlord

Rating: 5.0


Ire in hearts, fire in Minneapolis
Trump tweets invectives, shoot thugs he says
George Floyd chokes to death at the hands of police
Business as usual, trigger happy policy stays.

Leadership deficit, police dysfunction explicit
Watch out, the tweeting robot'll shoot you dead
If a traffic offence you commit. Death implicit
Cyclop in the White House doesn't want George Floyd ahead

If your skin colour ain't white. Thug, he shouts
To Uncle Sam Trump got nothing to give
Systemic incompetence shouts. Trump tweets doubts
Don't glorify their thirst for your blood. Forgive.

Stop harassing China, Donald Trump
Get your house in order, smokescreens Uncle Sam doesn't need
A hundred thousand lives lost to covid. Jump!
Credible leadership Uncle Sam needs indeed.

This poem draws attention of the world to a leadership which instead of devoting their energy and resources to heal the wounds of humanity start creating fresh troubles for the world. Nice poem. Thanks.
