The Mouth that Roars
Just the sound of his voice,
Awakens memories of fingernails on a blackboard,
Of tires screeching outside at midnight,
Of coarse sandpaper on raw wood,
Of babies crying and crying and crying,
Of a neighbor weed-eating at 3 am!
It’s an audible recording
from a medieval torture chamber.
Without even considering the stupidity
And malevolence of the words:
Point guns at Liz Cheney,
Paint Kamala with “low i.q.,”
Shoot at him
through the dishonest media,
Vow revenge on all who disagree,
Proclaim “rigged”
even before the votes are counted!
How can the most immoral man
In the universe
Get a single vote?
One thought on “Poetry from Bruce Roberts”
I was likewise shocked that the American electorate would choose an adjudged rapist, thief, liar and A-hole over a poised, thoughtful, intelligent woman of color. The reason for such a choice, I feel, is misogyny and racism. God help us.
