The Stupidity of Trump and the MAGA Cult: Is This the End of America and Democracy?
By David Franklin (Albuquerque, New Mexico)
In shadows deep, a leader rose,
With hollow words and fleeting prose.
A man with boasts, a man with might,
But twisted truth, and blinded sight.
The MAGA crowd, a loyal band,
With minds consumed, they take a stand.
They follow blindly, hearts untrue,
And march behind the red, white and blue.
Is this the path that we must take?
A nation lost for power’s sake?
The wisdom faded, morals torn,
As freedom’s light feels scorned, forlorn.
With every lie, with every shout,
The walls of reason crumble out.
The roots of democracy decay,
As hatred grows and leads astray.
Is this the end, this bitter fate,
Of justice, truth, and honest state?
As darkness clouds our fragile land,
We wonder if we still can stand.
But still, the hope may yet endure,
For hearts that seek, for minds that cure.
If we rise up, let voices call,
We can restore the love for all.
So let us fight, not give in fear,
And hold what’s right, what’s pure, what’s dear.
For democracy, the dream we trust,
May still survive, and rise from dust.
