Living In The Land Of Promise Poem by Chen-ou Liu

a 4-tanka sequence

just a dream, and yet...
the mountain lion roaring
to flocks of sheep,
'once elected as your King
I'll be vegetarian'

a dictator
on his 'first day only'...
in misty dark
the ghost of tomorrow whispers
'Trump Forever, Trump Forever'

the people of Trump
by the people of Musk
for the people of the SuperRich...
sun-bleached stars and stripes
atop the Capitol fencing

surge after surge
of woke mind virus...
wearing a crown
the Convicted Felon alone
in an Oval Office window


FYI: The Telegraph, Feb.,7: Let's celebrate: Donald Trump is vaccinating the West against the woke mind virus

Whether it's gender ideology or border control, the president has torn through years of bizarre, divisive groupthink in a matter of weeks

And Rolling Stone, Feb.19: Trump on Himself: 'LONG LIVE THE KING'

The White House's official X account also shared an image of a fake cover of Time magazine depicting Trump in a golden crown, with the headline "LONG LIVE THE KING."
