Author’s Remarks:
The rank hypocrisies and blatant double standards surrounding the US presidential elections and following the installation of its new President and which are ricocheting on this side of the Atlantic are so perverse that I won’t insult my intellect nor waste my time discussing them. That’s for all the idiots involved and who are obsessed by them to discuss. I have my views on the matter but were I to start elucidating them in full it would take me writing non-stop to this time next year to enunciate them.
One question though that I’d like to posit. How the hell does someone with the German familial surname of DRUMP changed of course as these rightwing sorts always do which I’ve deliberately used in this poem and apart from himself and his father who were born in the United States have the sheer nerve and bloody gall in a country founded on Genocide and enforced Slavery and inundated with foreigners and those of foreign ancestry in other words IMMIGRANTS - and where those indigenous inhabitants of the continent he’s in and doesn’t bear the name of these peoples’ ancestors, as the largely white, like Herr Drump’s European immigrant settlers changed it, oh and by the way all this without any consultation with or the consent of the people who actually owned that land and furthermore where these said indigenous peoples have no say in the immigration policies of their own homeland think that he has the inalienable right to unilaterally say who the hell lives there because he’s been elected President of the USA.
I’d be honest with all of you and say that out of the two completely lost cases that were on show in that US presidential election I personally held my nose and wished that it was Donald instead of Hillary who won. And if he cleans up, as he said he would do, the stinking sewers that are Washington DC and Wall Street, then good for him as this urgently needs to be done; but with so many billionaires in his cabinet that’s as realistic a situation as going to the Vatican to ask for contraceptive counselling!
