Trump Agenda For More Focus

Poets deal in similes, metaphors, images and symbols

In the Charlottesville riot over a statue many come to mind

First the irony that Robert E. Lee on monuments was bitterly opposed

Would not unify the nation only fester the sores of war

If he were alive today he would shove the KKK and white supremacists out an open door

Opposed voting rights to former slaves fearing demagoguery due to illiteracy

Supported education of blacks as a means to their station in life improve

Second irony is that Gettysburg was the high water mark of the South

Limping back to Virginia for two more years of bloodshed in a war it could not win

With his remarks on the killing Trump is like Pickett of old

And continued control of Congress and a second term is his Little Round Top Hill

His Trump Agenda Flags holed and shredded

His fellow Reds and Business Councils starting to flee like rats from a sinking ship

Instead of control rods of focus to prevent a meltdown                      

 His control rods of tweets produce the exact opposite effect

Why in God’s name does he restraint and focus reject?

Almost like a scene from Richard III

Wandering on the battlefield of the Blues and MSM

Forlorn, defiant, dripping ego, armed only with a Twitter sword

“My agenda for a prompter”

No tax cut, no wall, no border secure

Only the sound of running wet feet

And the litter of agenda items scattered like leaves
