Dr Liz Gordon – A little poem for the age

I heard that a woman had sent Ricin to the President

To sprinkle on his Big Mac, perhaps.

Just for a moment the world stopped,

And I thought how wonderful it would be…

But NO – take that thought away

I will not wish deadness even on an enemy of humanity

What I do wish, though, that at a rally,

His maskless, defiant, racist, nonsense rallies

 

That at one of his rallies without masks or care

Where he brings together those who will not think

That the wave of infection he has spurned

Sweeps right over, in and through him.

 

I want Mr Trump to get the virus

To feel his breath depleted, as have so many others

To be quite sick, perhaps in hospital,

Perhaps for weeks, and then recover.

 

And then lose the election

And save that little spark of humanity

Of compassion, that Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Offered to a country, possibly now forever lost.

  1. Entitled white woman overseeing an abomination of a judicial system and a failed country is elevated to God status as the single reason women and young girls have the rights they experience today

      Yours is an apt response to a piece of doggerel which neatly illustrates the author’s credulous acceptance of all the propaganda at best, complete bollocks at worst, emanating from the US via the liberal media.

      As for wishing the coronavirus on the POTUS: setting aside the sheer callousness of it, I can think of many more deserving candidates, just in the US.

      Just remember that Trump hasn’t started a new war. Yet. Not for want of trying on the part of members of the Washington Establishment.
