We have a Vice President-elect,
That can speak to this from lived experience,
Bringing with her our first, second gentleman,
She’s Jamaican-South Asian; he’s Jewish American,
Making “the melting pot” more exquisite,
“To the millions of Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and Buddhists
celebrating the Festival of Lights, @DrBiden and I send our best wishes for a
#HappyDiwali. May your new year be filled with hope, happiness, and prosperity.
Sal Mubarak.”
We get this from the President-elect,
Opposite this,
The petulant child in the Oval Office is tweeting,
Conspiracy theories, because his time is fleeting,
As his judicial immunity leaves him,
January 20th at noon,
NY State Attorney Letitia James,
Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance,
SDNY and EDNY,
All get their chance,
To file requests for his taxes,
Which were never under perpetual audit from the IRS,
We’ll find out he’s a creature of fiction,
Conjured by the producers of “The Apprentice,”
The last four years felt like four centuries,
Inching over the precipice to an authoritarian apocalypse,
73 million Americans voted for him,
Which means we have our work cut out for artists and poets,
Teaching science, history and civics,
To a hostile crowd willfully oblivious,
For continued coexistence, we have to press through the lies
and gaslighting to do this,
We ALL have a Festival of Lights to celebrate,
We caste out an apostate ingrate,
That plans the end of his only term,
He thinks being carried out bodily by the Secret Service,
Will be dramatically distressing, but
Won’t bother me any more than his signature,
“You’re fired,” applied karmically to him.
