Conflicted
Infallible leader! The Commander
In Chief, fashioning and refashioning
The earth moment by moment to bring
It into line with his propaganda.
Bothered neither by doubt or modesty,
He’s a political Janus who says
What he sees myopically looking both ways
At once: the world as he wants it to be.
He will make America great again
Through the power of his personality:
A few thousand deaths, mere banality.
First tariffs followed by missiles; but then
A new policy when the old won’t abide,
When share prices fall and markets decide.
