Everyone in the world knows
the story of King Midas, the king
who rated gold that highly that the gods
cursed him so that everything outside himself
that he touched, including his family, turned to gold,
thus devaluing utterly what once pleased his eye so.
President Trump brags how his touch turns money
into more money, including increased debt
when he is careless - which he is often.
Until he was impelled to embrace being known
as the wealthiest serial bankrupt in the world.
But hey! Money is only money; it is not life.
Now with Trump being in Putin's favourite pocket fascist,
who Putin needs for him to stay in power, and keep at a distance,
so that Putin can organise his country's media hall of mirrors,
in the assuredness of mutual loathing. So welcome Trump
the Polonium President who in choosing his cabinet will poison
and wither every branch of government he is allowed near,
without him being blamed for his choice of 'Yes' men and women
all of whom will be elected to be the biggest 'No' to usefulness
and competence in government in the history of The Republic.
When it arrives, how many hundred million Americans,
along with the migrants, will say 'We didn't see this coming'?
