Inauguration Day -12

As we edge closer to that day, I picture what I would say if I was the Inaugural Poet.


     Great Again!

We can be shallow. We can be deep.
Even a dense fog or murky river
Doesn't reveal what's beneath -- the anti-hero
owns honesty and tells how it should be,
Never buckling to political correctness' pressure
to tolerate differences and welcome strangers.
Let us forget about Japanese-American internment
in World War II lest a pattern of history will repeat!
Knowing the definition of insanity can't deter
enemies within us contributing to the snafu -
how we look to the world. If only we were in a vacuum,
isolated from others. Ridicule is our new backdrop
making us low so we can rise to be great again!
