  • NOBLE POETRY  

  • HIS CONSTANT DICTUM

    By: Cedric McClester

     

    We hear him complain

    They spied on his campaign

    But the fact still remains

    Finding the proof is his bane

    Because as much as he insists

    The proof doesn’t exist

    So we’re left to ask why

    He keeps telling us that lie?

     

    Simply put it’s a deflection

    He’s a master of misdirection

    And it reveals his imperfection

    According to a cross section

    Of everyone who has been polled

    Who’ve counted the lies he’s told

    And if I may be so bold

    It tends to leave them cold

     

    See his constant dictum 

    Seems to be that he’s a victim

    Of some existential plot

    But what proof (have we got)

    We who’ve been bereft

    Have a need to catch our breath

    Long after he has left

    We still feel the after effects

     

    He’s clearly an outlier

    Who will one day burn in fire

    But right now it’s getting dire

    Because he cannot take us higher

    He’s ignored the pandemic

    With his around the corner polemic

    He’s done nothing that’s systemic

    And it’s past epidemic
