“Checking out our
President”
IN AND OUT OF
INSANITY
Storms of incoherence
Intentions meet interference
Waves of trepidation
Predicaments we’re faced with
Stem from complications
Of laws made by nations
Affecting ramifications
For massive populations
How can we change our destination
Tragic fates that lie ahead
We have to find a negotiation
Before our dreams die instead
Donald Trump is an alpha male wannabe
all of his policies and decisions as president
seem like an attempt,
to portray himself as such.
A modern conservative cowboy persona
that is not rooted in
commonly accepted morality,
or Christian servitude.
He could start a war
almost all of the wise men
of the world oppose,
to present himself as such.
Repent/change
and maybe we will forgive him,
continue as he is
then for everyone’s sake, I think he should be removed
from office.
When I was younger
I didn’t choose my world
My world chose me
In a crazy world
Too young to fight back
Others fought for me
Saving me many times
Years later
Choosing my own destination
I chose the road less traveled
My world turned into
Fight or flight mode
It soon became a game to me
A game of win or lose
Losing meant death
Winning meant Life
I chose the latter
Deeper, and deeper
I got into the game
The more I wanted out

I didn’t care about the
Consequences
Of the game
Survival was priority
Evasive Invasion
