LITERARY NOOK

President Whacko

“I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals Himself in the harmony of all that exists, not in a God who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.”
—Albert Einstein, explaining his views on God to a rabbi
 
He Resists Where Relative Harmony Exists
DJ Trump is not anyone’s political god but substantially less
our Commander-in-Chief by virtue of the Electoral College
who is quickly making the United States Presidency a mess
and day by day displaying his lack of  interest and knowledge
he calls the White House a “dump” his place of residency
his second home is on his private golf course in Mar a Lago
he makes a fool of himself and a farce of the U.S. Presidency
systematically deconstructs the legacy of a man from Chicago
his tax plan benefits the rich as middle class citizens reel
still insists on building a totally ridiculous useless wall
negates years of hard work on the Iran nuclear deal
alienates strong European allies perhaps worst of all
and what are the laws and policies that he most resists
any law or policy he finds where relative harmony exists.
 
The Firing of C-Fibers and Then Mozart Won 1
(C-fibers are part of the nervous system that carries pain signals)
The pain was not related to a headache
well my head did not ache with pain
the pain was related to heart ache
for our country, need I further explain
pain in my heart hurting and storming
since election a year ago of president 45
his diplomacy by Tweet began forming
then my C-fibers became painfully alive
channeling messages of dread, despair and sadness
then this morning before I got out of bed
came peaceful waves of tranquility and gladness
as radio music of Mozart flowed into my head
those C-fibers are subscribers just doing their part
Baroque music and Mozart helped them depart.
 
C-Fibers Firing Then Came Mozart Too 2
(C-fibers are part of the nervous system that carry pain signals)
What has been the causal factor of my existential pain
a reality TV show host who said, “You’re Fired !” ?
whose petty insults, ignorance of issues, inability to explain
is made worse by a cabinet of negative nabobs he hired
then I realized I had a way to make the political pain stop
despite 45, the Tyrant of Tweet’s cyber fed narcissistic trip
let some Baroque music and W.A. Mozart float over the top
even as his appointees keep jumping from the sinking ship
I’ve been using a pain relieving drug free sure fire antidote
that does not need a prescription and does not need a vote
the more those C-fibers fire off and in my brain pan rage
I let the world of Wolfgang Mozart music enter center stage
to help the neural network of music loving fibers grow
some Mozart flute sonatas and The Marriage of Figaro.
