trump versus W

[Martin Eden]

10. W started two long wars of occupation. 5,000 US troops died, and upwards of a million people in the region

It remains to be seen how many will die as a result of Trump -- not just from the war in Iran, but from eliminating USAID and slashing domestic programs at home and probably wrecking our economy.

W was despised around the world for his illegal war in Iraq, but Trump is turning the USA into an international pariah while attacking our institutions at home and shredding our Constitution.

I wrote the poem below for W when he left office, but have not yet worked on one for Trump.

I'd tell you to go fuck yourself
But that is much too kind
If you could perform that feat
You'd take pleasure in your behind

I'd like to say eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war

Though I can never make you think
Or feel, or understand
I'll take solace when you hear your name
Cursed throughout the land

From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Until you're sick, heartbroken, and old

When you finally leave this earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You're going straight to hell
