now
it is time
to stand
before your government
your president
he who wants to be
king
shall he never be
except within his stroke broken mind
an eptstien lover
where young girls
color his dreams
still
shall we stand
in the belief of reality
as truth
men against the windmills
of illusion
of what we are told
against
of what we see
my country tis of thee
what has become of your
the holes of a republic
shine through
when democracy becomes
the delusion of the many

 Reviews of "windmills"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on October 7, 2025
I am often wondering why so many in this country cannot see that the king has no clothes. They dream of an America that never was and allow this tyrant, this narcissistic fool, to run roughshod over principles of fairness and equality that the United States of America has always stood for.

There was a period recently with a fool for president. His name was Herbert Hoover. His actions led to the New Deal. All voters have to do is recognize they are in the wrong set of pews in the church of politics.
