Patulous Conceit

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

On this holiday of at-home discipline, one is reminded to give thanks to Andrew Cuomo. If only Cuomo was governing the nation instead of the Washington oligarchy waging the war of deceit against medical workers and first responders, as well as the naïve and ill-informed.

Poem Artwork

 

Patulous Conceit

 

Notably from the White House

Or Capitol Hill,

Insufficient PPE and Testing machines

For the hordes of doctors and nurses

Runs rampant

Beneath the guise

Of caring

While the bile of self-loathing

Continues calcifying in the gut

Of federal leadership

There is no federal leadership; it's in a shambles. He should be run out of office being responsible for many deaths for ill-preparedness in the guise of self praise, all in the name of being re-elected. Now he claims "total power". What will he claim when he loses the election. Then it really will be the end of the great adventure of democracy.

You said it, and said it well. If only the naive and ill-informed, would put forth the effort to be better educated instead of bowing at the altar of trump.
