Demagogue
It all sounds like hubris, vainglorious
Bluster, rantings of megalomania,
Domination via the media,
As if there is nothing left to discuss.
A tsunami of personality
Surging around the world, inundating
With a flood of words beyond debating,
Such is the depth of this banality.
Afraid of drowning, there are those who try
To swim against the tide, but distracted
By their efforts, they are misdirected
From all that is unobserved floating by.
Judgement saturated by anger and dread,
Becomes unaware of what’s not being said.
D. A.
