Having Played....With Fire - And Got Burned Poem by James B. Earley

Here we are a Nation near frenzy
...One step...removed...from tyranny
Jealously the mockery of his mind
....In place.......a demented plan
Long twisted the sordid brand...
Trump's legacy...hatred - of mankind

...When considering...cerebral bearing
There ain't no depth of comparing...
Obama's compassionate...logic of thought
....To the mentally unbalanced
Intellectually challenged
....Monster...Satan has wrought

As the calamity unfurls...
Being viewed around the world
With apprehension dismay and shame
The scoundrel at the helm
....Morally.......overwhelmed
Four years 'tis a long waiting game

But...there's a new day tomorrow
...After forty-eight months'...sorrow
Beauty of the lessons we'll learn
.....Ignorance......ain't bliss
We were stupidly remiss.....
Having played with fire...and got burned
