POLITICAL Poem: Disconsolate, by Molly Dickerson

november fifth
crestfallen and dejected
peace is now a myth
everyone is affected

a country
disconsolate
half the people
victims of hate
a leader
whose own daughter
he would date
a president
who leaves his people
irate
a politician
who’s a felon and cheapskate
a man
who only likes women
he can sedate

his egregious “policies”
and denigrating qualities
derisory remarks
and the orders he barks
marks the beginning
of his federal sinning
and morals thinning
he manages to keep winning
despite his lies spinning

his only cares
are control and power
a man who can’t share
who only empowers
other knavish white men
and yet again
we live in a country
where women
are owned and controlled
their “only use” to be boned
and it seems
freedom
has been postponed
