Waylaid After School Poem by Long Tooth
Waylaid After School
This new election feels like rape,
By scum and playground toughs,
With many I once thought were friends
Now cowards, powder puffs.
Has Christian virtue lost its shine?
Republicans in charge?
No brother's keepers in their ranks?
Racists and liars at large?
Well half the nation still has legs,
I have not lost all hope,
Though anti-science may have won
Their leadership's on dope.
Trump judges others for his crimes,
Christ crucified again,
When innocent are pilloried,
The guilty think they win.
A victory by grade school kids,
Impoverished of soul,
That waylay others after school,
Let God's truth still console.
Your bones will mend, your bruise will heal,
Though Trump's flag is unfurled,
This infamy will also pass,
It's God who made the world!

into July 2017's showcase this goes. your name and the link to this poem page will be supplied to readers.............who care, if any! bri :) thanks.
Writing for the edification of The Lord Almighty is a hallmark of ingenuity - The fear of God being the beginning of wisdom. Thanks for sharing.
oops! it says Long Tooth here! forget the Roof reference, though i had sufficient reason to say it! bri :) Long Tooth it shall be in the showcase.
The name Roof Missing is sort a humorous self-assessment, my nom de plume Long Tooth has its own nom de plume! : -)
hey Roof, i don't understand: Trump judges others for his crimes, Christ crucified by men, ok Roof, you managed to sneak God in here twice (Christ counts as one) , but if God created the world and everything else included Trump/Republicans [though you did NOT say THAT], then God must condoned such racist and liars. right? i know you won't say Right, Bri. ha ha anyway, whether your truths are all truths or not, the poem is flowing (NO, i did not say sewage!) , and rhyming is almost as good as Bri's! congratulations. to MyPoemList. and to Section B of November's showcase. ta ta bri :) ok, i'll even give it a rating: 9 1/2..........call it 9. there's always room for improvement that way.
Like most of us Trump judges others for what he perceives as their crimes Bri. The only problem is he is usually the only true criminal, his victims mostly innocent. He prefers criminals as companions so he can be accepted and, to avoid having to confront his own conscience. It is so much fun to attack the innocent.
My guess is that God being God, His creation plan included Satan from the git-go. Just as pain helps learn valuable lessons, so the evil in all of our natures helps us to be humble and to thank God that we are not that stupid! Ha!
